Read the fifth amendment. It totally negates your argument about the federal authority granted by the founding fathers.

Quit playing word games and changing the subject. The federal government had the authority to execute the Rosenbergs.

That's right, we don't execute spies for allies, we don't execute spies of potential enemies during peacetime. To my knowledge, there are no other spies who were executed during peacetime -- I'm not saying I know this from exhaustive research, just that I can not recollect any, any mention of any.

If you say the Constituion gives the Federal Behemoth the right to execute anyone (during peacetime) from crimes short of Treason -- show me the clause! I know it's been done -- Timothy McVeigh being an example -- but like much of what the Behemoth does these days, it is well beyond any charter.
