I would support a Treason charge if it can made to stick.
This is the correct thing to do according to the constitution.
However Obama is not going to do this.
When was the last treason trial in America?
Waterboard the treasonous Islamic terrorist SOB, then try him in a military court and hang him!! He deserves to die a traitor’s death!!
Yes...Revoke his citizenship and send his sorry arse to GITMO
+1
He and the rest like him should ALL be prosecuted. Right on Jim!
May that fool’s judgement be swift.
May his punishment last an eternity...
Leftwing extremist prefer to remain ignorant of Islamic aggression for the same cowardly reason that they prefer to remain ignorant of non white racism and bigotry. They prefer a white Christian heterosexual scapegoat
Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were welcomed into our country with open arms, received good educations and for this, they murdered 4 and maimed more than 170 o us! It was a heinous crime!
If anyone can screw up this case, I’m sure Obama can manage it.
Agreed.
No argument here.
Muslim devotion to Allah is altruism in full flower. Altruists rejoice!
I haven’t seen many libertarians defending this terrorist. Can you elaborate on why you’re calling libertarians out in your headline?

Looks to me like the known facts of the case certainly fit the charge of treason.
The Constitution does not itself create the offense; it only restricts the definition (the first paragraph), permits Congress to create the offense, and restricts any punishment for treason to only the convicted (the second paragraph).
The crime is prohibited by legislation passed by Congress.
Therefore the United States Code at 18 U.S.C. § 2381 states “whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
The requirement of testimony of two witnesses was inherited from the British Treason Act 1695.

We want dirtbag #2 to get his just rewards, and for him to give up whomever he's working with, be they in the US or abroad.
BUT, there's no fault in being VERY cautious in just how that process takes place, to make sure that we, the freedom loving, aren't prosecuted unfairly by tyrannical administrations.
Let's all make sure that justice gets applied without having the Bill of Rights being shredded in the process. It is possible, but I don't trust Obama to not game things to his future advantage.
Amen and a Hearty Huzzah!!!
right on. very sad very tragic, but i cant help but be amused by the insane gymnastics of obama and the media in avoiding saying the “J” or”I” word.
when the president says “ i have no idea what coul dcause a young man to do such a thing” it just leaves one speechless
They’re probably working on a plea deal as we speak. He’ll probably plead guilty to littering and wind up serving 100 hours community service.
