“Treason” has become a hollow word, as pertains to liberalism.
Likely because we no longer seem to enforce the consequences of treason. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, Barack Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, et al, should all be charged with treason.
Politicians assume public office looking for ways around the Constitution. Where they cannot find a way around it, they simply ignore it; both courses of action are contrary to the solemn oaths they have sworn, and illegal besides.
