"I am surprised that a constitutional student of your magnitude would get something this simple wrong."

No sir, I believe it is you that is misintrepretating what treason means. When someone violates their oath of office to protect their country enemies abroad, and might it also include as well as domestic they have indeed commited treason. It's not just limited to levying war alone. Levying war also implies, selling weapons to enemies abroad who have every intention of using those missle against your country in the future. Although the House of Un-American Activities became defunct due to the heightened McCarthy hearings, communists are STILL the sworn enemy of the U.S. of A. Those who aid, abet, and provide comfort to those enemies should be removed from public office immediately!

"That's the difficult part about being a conservative, you have to live by what you preach."

I do. Not only that but as one transformed from a communist sympathiziser to that of a conservative, I live to tell from experience.

Article 3, Section 3, US Constitution:

"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."

What part of what the Founders wrote can't you understand?

When the Libs use your tactic to attack the Second Amendment "this is what the Founders really meant", do you agree with them? Or do you demand that they read the Amendment verbatim?

I guess you believe that Chief Justice John Marshall was wrong then?
