Voters arresting their congressmen -- a sight I'd love to see [vanity]

I'm not one for posting vanities, but....

There's a sight I imagined the other day, one that I can't get out of my head -- the idea of a million voters, surging through DC and into the Capitol -- and voters placing their congressmen under arrest for crimes against their constituents.

A guy can dream, can't he?

They all need to be put away for life.

A scary scenario I came up with is Obama appointing a presidential czar who will then appoint Obama president for life ....

five million citizens can walk into any building the government owns on our behalf; the Capitol, The White House, Camp David and the Supreme Court building and there isn't a police or military force in the history of the planet that could stop them all.

Perhaps a visit is in order.

I wonder if a State Attorney General could issue a warrant for treason against a US Representative from their state that voted for Deem & Pass? Or can only the Feds issue warrants for treason?

I have a feeling we’re not the only three who have thought of this. Maybe this is an idea that we should make go viral....

We have an out of control Congress and corrupt, deviant administration, who are not listening to We The People. They all want to change our country into something it was never meant to be. Too many of our citizens over the years, have paid with their lives and blood to form and protect this country for us to just lay down and take it.

I have thought of this many times. I think it’s time the TEA Parties showed up and literally shut down Congress.

Its a possibility thats not too far remote, I am sure all those voting for Obamacare have also made arraignments with Pelosi for 24/7 security.

And I would not be surprised to hear of a sudden exodus of most if not all that supported and voted for Obamacare to suddenly take off for an extended vacation...outside the US.

They will cut and run no doubt, any that do stay and face the enraged constituents will do so behind barriers and armed uniforms.

Constitution of the United States

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. 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.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.”

Passing an unconstitutional bill is not Treason. It’s bad policy, and those doing so should be thrown out by the voters at the next election, The law should be thrown out by the courts. But, it is not Treason.

Treason is defined in the Constitution specifically to prevent what you are advocating.
