We aren’t enforcing them because plenty of our politicians would be traitors themselves, sacrificing Americans for selfish reasons, such as not missing their party or chance to guest appear at the Oscars in Hollywood, or unwilling to do anything with regards to people who are part of their voting bloc. Then like ebola, we have to invite traitors back home, and don’t do anything to offend them.
The problem is who gets to define what a “traitor” is.
There are plenty out there who would consider Tea Partiers as “traitors.”
