28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Joe McCarthy died at 48 years old in 1957, that was just 2 years after Edward R. Murrow assassinated Joe's career and person. That put an end to shining a spotlight on the infiltration of the communists.
He was best friends with Joe and John Kennedy. Both were very anti-communist. Five years after Joe died of liver failure, JFK was assassinated. I think that was the event that marked the end of the Democratic party as a legitimate constitutionally based party.
Shortly thereafter LBJ took their first step toward socialism and communism with his “Great Society” or “Great Socialism Plan”.
On June 17, 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was deemed unconstitutional.
You can connect the dots.
“Supporting civil rights would also be treason?” Supporting all men are created equal is not treason, insisting that some men get special attention such as affirmative action and the like, is Unconstitutional and therefore is an act against the United States.

“Supporting or getting a divorce would be treason?” Supporting divorce is a personal decision, and everyone has that right, actively promoting divorce is an act that undermines or society, and thus is an act against the United States.
“How about if someone says they are a Communist and speaks in support of Communism?” Talking is one thing, taking action to impose a Communist Society is by definition an act against the Republic known as the United States, and thus, is an act of treason.
“Would that be treason or them utilizing their first Amendment freedom?” Non Sequitur statement. Ignored.
“Is voicing an opinion giving “aid and comfort” - or is it that actually giving aid and comfort is giving aid and comfort?” Voicing an opinion is a first amendment right, aiding an enemy, such as releasing information of an Allie's attack plans on a mutual adversary while promising another adversary to diminish our defenses, while putting entire generations in fiscal debt to yet another adversary is treason.
“Is commerce between the States commerce between the States - or is it that any activity or non activity that could have any effect upon commerce is commerce between the States?”
Any restraint imposed on interstate trade is an act of constitutional ignorance, depending on the intent, yes it could be construed as treasonous.
Sorry, but the Constitution is very specific about what treason is - and you are way out in la la land with what you propose.
Connect the dots? I did. You think differences of opinion about the Constitutionality of prayer in school or the validity of no fault divorce or any sort of affirmative action constitutes treason via giving “aid and comfort” to our enemies.
You are the opposite side of the coin of those who think that if the SCOTUS strikes down 0bamacare the Justices should be impeached and are traitors.
Treason is clearly defined in our Constitution because of loony tunes like you who would expand it to cover any action you disapprove of.
According to your formulation, and handy dandy #42- any FReeper who suggested that violence might be our only or our best answer (or at least an alternative) to government overreach and creeping tyranny would be guilty of TREASON!!!
Lots of FReepers talking about “Civil War II” - but because of #42 - isn't it obvious that they are all just traitors? /s
