Re your Logan Act post, that law has never been enforced in the post WWII era, to the best of my knowledge. I doubt many of today's ex-presidents, governors and congresscritters are even aware of it, because they routinely violate it. So bashing AG Gonzalez for not indicting Pelosi for her Syrian trip is pure nonsense.

Personally, I think the Logan Act should have been consistently enforced from the time it was signed through today, but it wasn't. So don't blame the current administration for the failings of its predecessors.

Shakespeare: "Measure For Measure" ACT II, Scene ii

('The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept")

Though no prosecution have been brought under the Act, it has been used as a point of challenge on numerous cases,
and has withstood attempts by mostly (guess) Democrats to have it modified or stricken from the books.
. Most notably: McGovern visits to Cuba,,
Speaker Jim Wrights meetings with the Sandinista Government,
Jessie Jacksons trip to Syria to attempt the release of an US Naval Aviator.,
( PS:The above Shakespeare quote was actually used in the,
case of Waldron V. British Petroleum Co in relation to the Logan Act),
It's on the books use as a tool to rein in Her Majasty.
