Definition of the terms TREASON and TRAITOR

[Smokin' OP]

Yes, the TEA Party was a thing. They didn't call themselves TEABAGGERS, you did.
The sexual connotations are ALL YOURS, dirtbag!

That's right, SeaSwab.

Treason is allowing America's enemies into the US thru the open southern border.

Immigrants are not America's enemies. Immigrants found to actually be enemies are stopped by existing immigration laws.

Giving national security intel to Vladimir Putin - now that would constitute treason.

 

[Crick]

No one needs to be lectured by a leftard.

Ohhhh... I'd have to disagree with you there.

 

[Crick]

Note the lack of makeup or bizarre hair.

 

[Crick]

In other words, Donald Trump, and his minions.

Preeeee-CISE-ly

 

[Crick]

Grow up.

I've done far too much of that. But, why? What do you think is childish in this thread?

Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

Early judicial interpretation of the Treason Clause and the term "levying war" arose in the context of the partisan struggles of the early nineteenth century and the treason trials of Aaron Burr and his associates. In Ex parte Bollman, which involved two of Burr’s confederates, Chief Justice John Marshall, speaking for himself and three other Justices, confined the meaning of levying war to the actual waging of war. Chief Justice Marshall distinguished the offence of conspiring to levy war and the offence of actually levying war. In his view, "[t]he first must be brought into operation by the assemblage of men for a purpose treasonable in itself, or the fact of levying war cannot have been committed." This "enlistment of men to serve against the government," according to him, "does not amount to levying war." Chief Justice Marshall was careful, however, to state that the Court did not mean that no person could be guilty of this crime who had not appeared in arms against the country. He stated: "On the contrary, if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable purpose, all those who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors." But, Chief Justice Marshall emphasized, "there must be an actual assembling of men, for the treasonable purpose, to constitute a levying of war."

Based on these considerations and because no part of the crime charged had been committed in the District of Columbia, the Court held that Bollman and Swartwout could not be tried in the District, and ordered their discharge. Chief Justice Marshall continued by saying that "the crime of treason should not be extended by construction to doubtful cases" and concluded that no conspiracy for overturning the Government and "no enlisting of men to effect it, would be an actual levying of war."

However, that certainly looks as if charges of Treason could be brought against Mr Trump.

 

[Crick]

Well the leftists have sure moved the goalposts on those terms.

A dictionary of the English language is not an authority on meaning, it simply gives USAGE.

 

[Crick]

Biden and Barack Ovomit are the epitome of traitors!

Scum both of them.

Wow... text without cute pictures. What treasonous acts do you believe either of them have committed?

 

[Crick]

The US doesn't have a sovereign, dumbass. Perhaps you should use a US dictionary.


.

The sovereign in the US democracy is the people; those whose votes-expressed will Trump attempted to overthrow.

 

[Crick]

people who call fellow Americans nazis just because they dont agree with them are a type of traitor....

How?

 

[Crick]

Definition of an idiot ^^^

Trump or Lakhota? You're not at all clear

 

[Crick]

And they aren't even doing it unknowingly. They are knowingly letting everyone in who wants in.

That is false.

 

[Crick]

When will you do something about it. Are you hoping the invading army will do it for you.

I think we are hoping that the American people will do it for us. Both those in ballot boxes and those in jury boxes.

 

[Crick]

You can have any opinion you want. The fact is they did not want to replace the federal government, merely separate from it.

The Union was formed of 36 states. Breaking eleven states away did enormous harm to the "Union".

 

[Crick]

The fact reality is all the labels lib loons apply are when someone is trying to sell out this country to another country
Libs have universally misapplied the terms to this rag tag bunch of buffalo horns making noise

Violently breaking in to the Capitol in an attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power and retain Trump as an unelected leader is a great fucking deal more than just "making noise"

 

[Crick]

they say the same shit about you guys.....

But we didn't take up arms against the government and the will of the people in a democracy.

 

[Harry Dresden]

How?

maybe i should say those types are assholes and shitty Americans themselves....hows that?....

 

[Crick]

Ya mean like Jan 6

[Crick]

maybe i should say those types are assholes and shitty Americans themselves....hows that?....
