A poorly-informed individual, reading your post, would think that mandatory prosecution of and execution of traitors is required by federal statute.

During a time of war, treason is punishable by death. Ron Paul ain't the Rosenbergs, pal.

Then I'm sure you can point me to the relevant statute that prescribes that sanction mandatorily.

Of course, according to Ron Paul, we're not actually at war.

There is no current declaration of war.

The Rosenbergs were not convicted of treason.
