"Once a snake, always a snake........."

Shame we cannot treat him, Reid and Pelosi the way that they treated Clement L. Valladigham back in the Civil War.

From Bartleby.com

On May 1, 1863, in a political speech at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, he declared, among other things, that the Civil War was being fought not to save the Union but to free the blacks and enslave the whites. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, then commanding the Dept. of the Ohio, accused him of violating “General Order No. 38,” which threatened punishment for those declaring sympathy for the enemy, and Vallandigham was arrested, court-martialed, and sentenced to imprisonment for the rest of the war. President Lincoln commuted the sentence to banishment behind Confederate lines.

BWAHA-HA-HA-HA! For today's Copperheads, that would mean drop them into the mountains of AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN border!.............
