Hillary and the Obama’s sure took a run at it...
0bama, Hillary, Kerry all tried it and .....????
Well it is about to much more difficult and examples are going to made that will last 1000 years or more.
Not true. The side that was legally in the wrong, that betrayed British constitutional principles, was the King's ministers. They attempted to levy taxes on British subjects without consent.
England couldn't lawfully levy taxes on Scotland without their consent given in parliament, and neither could they lawfully do it to Virginia or Pennsylvania.
“I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
Gen James “Mad Dog” Mattis when he was forced to retire by Obama with his warning to the Deep State.
Well we have certainly uncovered a slew of them after electing Donald Trump as our President. I suspect none of them will be charged though.
Some Dare Call It Treachery *-?
naaaaa.. just doesn’t have the same ring to it..
Blah, Blah, Blah.
More New Age codswallop.
There is absolutely no moral equivalency between the events and actions related to the American Revolution
and the underhanded traitorous conduct on the part of democrats and other leftists today.
Saying there is does not make it so.
A Leftist Lie, by those who deny the Declaration of Independence, and whose loyalties lie outside of the U.S.
"treason must occur in the context of war"
The Constitution lists three acts as treason; only the first one deals with levying war against the U.S. The other two can occur outside of an actual war.
Given that the US has been in a perpetual state of war since 9/11, that requirement is automatically met in all cases.
Given some of the things Clinton, McCain, Obama and friends did... treason in the strictest possible sense can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. All three were involved, for example, in running arms to ISIS in Syria.
We had American born propagandists broadcasting propaganda from Germany on behalf of the Axis.
We had Communist agents in the US handing over nuclear bomb secrets to the Soviet Union.
We had a Red Communist actress posing for propaganda photos on an antiaircraft cannon in North Vietnam during the war.
We had thousands of Communist fueled bombings in the United States in a couple of years time.
“Treason” is almost as overused as “racist” is.
Are they trying to get ahead here of what “Q” is portending ?
When someone mentions traitors, I immediately think of Jeff Flake.
Heh.
Just goes to show how much consistent effort our current traitors had to put into it to qualify.
By the King, A Proclamation, For Suppressing Rebellion and Sedition
WHEREAS Many of Our Subjects in divers Parts of Our Colonies and Plantations in North America, misled by dangerous and ill-designing Men, and forgetting the Allegiance which they owe to the Power that has protected and sustained them, after various disorderly Acts committed in Disturbance of the Public Peace, to the Obstruction of lawful Commerce, and to the Oppression of Our loyal Subjects carrying on the same, have at length proceeded to an open and avowed Rebellion, by arraying themselves in hostile Manner to withstand the Execution of the Law, and traitoroursly preparing, ordering, and levying War against Us.
AND whereas there is Reason to apprehend that such Rebellion hath been much promoted and encouraged by the traitorous Correspondence, Counsels, and Comfort of divers wicked and desperate Persons within this Realm: To the End therefore, that none of Our Subjects may neglect or violate their Duty through Ignorance thereof, or through any Doubt of the Protection which the Law will afford to their Loyalty and Zeal; We have thought fit, by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council, to issue this Our Royal Proclamation, hereby declaring that not only all Our Officers, Civil and Military, are obliged to exert their utmost Endeavours to suppress such Rebellion, and to bring the Traitors to Justice; but that all Our Subjects of this Realm and the Dominions thereunto belonging are bound by Law to be aiding and assisting in the Suppression of such Rebellion, and to disclose and make known all traitorous Conspiracies and Attempts against Us, Our Crown and Dignity.
AND We do accordingly strictly Charge and Command all Our Officers, as well Civil as Military, and all other Our obedient and loyal Subjects, to use their utmost Endeavours to withstand and suppress such Rebellion, and to disclose and make known all Treasons and traitorous Conspiracies which they shall know to be against Us, Our Crown and Dignity: and for that Purpose, that they transmit to one of Our Principal Secretaries of State, or other proper Officer, due and full Information of all Persons who shall be found carrying on Correspondence wit, or in any Manner or Degree aiding or abetting, the Persons now in open Arms and Rebellion against Our Government within any of Our Colonies and Plantations in North America, in order to bring to condign Punishment the Authors, Perpetrators, and Abettors of such traitorous Designs.
Given at Our Court at St. James’s, the 23d Day of August, 1775, in the Fifteenth Year of Our Reign.
God Save the King.
True. But they were OUR traitors and they won!
This is some piss poor legal scholarship. The Founders couldn’t be traitors because you can’t be a traitor to a tyranny.
Demoncrats are domestic enemies and they’re at war with America and the Constitution. It’s a 2-fer.
We had a marxist, muslim, America-hating, faggot, illegal alien, enemy combatant as a commander in chief for 8 long years. The O’muslim admin(marxists,maoists & muslims) WAS A TREASON REGIME.
In case people have missed it, it’s prospering like an MFer.
My hunch is that it was because of the many treason prosecutions back in Tudor times. In Henry's and Elizabeth's time "treason" was applied quite loosely and perhaps unfairly. The Founders would have learned about those prosecutions in school and in their reading.
If what I've seen online is true, there were few prosecutions for treason in the Hanoverian era - mostly tied to the two Jacobite uprisings. So maybe the Founders' definition wasn't that different from the evolving British understanding of treason.
