Treason - the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

Article III, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."

It may be a lot of things but treason isn't one of them.

Agreed. The actions are neither sedition nor treason.

Either these are rogue individuals acting against the law or a conspiracy of the whole government to subvert the Constitution and laws.

If the first, the individuals should be tried and if found guilty, convicted and sentenced to prison. And we continue to operate under the Constitution.

If the second, well, ladies and gentlemen, that is when the Declaration supersedes and dare I say trumps the Constitution.
