Standing with the liberals to get him tried in a civilian court. The traitor (per the constitution) deserves to die a traitor’s death dangling at the end of a rope.

“Standing with the liberals to get him tried in a civilian court. The traitor (per the constitution) deserves to die a traitor’s death dangling at the end of a rope.”

You believe liberals want him tried as a citizen of this country. You believe conservatives want him officially documented a traitor and tried as a traitor.

I don't see that distinction between these two groups. I don't feel pulled in either direction based on my being a conservative. I think it's a matter of law and I haven't researched that which requires study of both options to see which has precedence so I don't have an opinion. I tend not to have a knee jerk reaction to a situation so I'll do some study before I have an opinion but it won't be based on my being a conservative.

You feel strongly about this and want him hung as a traitor. I want his legs ripped off just before he is hung or however he is executed.

Agreed. But the Constitution itself specifically prescribes that such a traitor's death should come only after the traitor is convicted, and suggests that such a conviction should come in court:

Article 3, Section 3:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
