"So the Rosenbergs spied for an ally, and thus by the Constitution's plain words were NOT subject to the death penalty, their crime was not treason."

The Constitution does not rule out the death penalty for espionage. But it's worth noting that, for the entirety of its existence, the Soviet Union viewed itself as being in a state of war with the non-Communist world. So, therefore, the Rosenbergs were, by dint of serving the Soviet Union, making war on the United States and giving aid and comfort to their enemies.

But it's amazing how you seek to excuse the Rosenbergs and the Pollards--whose only commonality was espionage and Judaism.

Perhaps you need to leave this country and go elsewhere.

Dang, I'm *glad* you just came right out and said that:
"But it's amazing how you seek to excuse the Rosenbergs and the Pollards--whose only commonality was espionage and Judaism. Perhaps you need to leave this country and go elsewhere."
A whole lot of Jews get upset to think of that statement and statements like it. The old dread "Dual loyalty!" accusation.

Some of them overreact and are go yapping and yelling amoungst the loudest "Pollard should be hung!!!!"

They just feed that evil sentiment that your fingers tapped out on the keyboard. And evil it is! You'd best throw such thoughts off if you want to stay amoung the good and the sane.

Every Jew is loyal to G-d first. There is NEVER a dual loyalty to be both a Jew who loves Israel and a Jew who is a full citizen of any other country.

I'm not arguing here for Pollard or Julius and Ethyl or such spies. I'm sticking a wooden stake through the heart of that evil sentiment that has latched onto your fingers. I'd slay the evil that speaks through those fingers if I could!

Anyone, Jew or non-jew can argue for the wrongful verdict that the execution of the Rosenbergs was and I do. Keep yourself to countering that argument and stay on the side of good. Venture off into a black pit, and a person can end up expressing the argument of those who hate G-d himself -- and that's the evil that happened across your fingers.

And that's why, imho, no Jew should ever react to that evil in such a way to support it in any way. Because it supports those who hate G-d.
