I don't know how we legally define "treason" but committing crimes to help the Democrats might be a stretch.

Still, crimes is crimes. We won't hang them, just put them in prison, like carjackers.

Technically, perhaps not Treason by a strict definition, but let’s not quibble or parse too much.

There’s plenty of blank spaces on the calendar left yet for some brandy new holidays with some good old fashioned neck stretchin’.

It’s in Article 3 Section 3.

Someone who reveres the rule of law ought to take the definition seriously.

US Constitution - Article III, 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.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
