“There would be a LONG line in front of him - including the Big 0.”
You think so? I haven’t heard any clear cut treason come out of Obama’s mouth, not yet anyway, but we all just did from the governor of Texas.
Sorry, you must not have actually read Gov. Goodhair's actual statement, which was:
"We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows what might come out of that. But Texas is a very unique place, and we're a pretty independent lot to boot."
Treason is a breach of allegiance to one's government, usually committed through levying war against such government or by giving aid or comfort to the enemy. The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance; or of betraying the state into the hands of a foreign power. Treason consists of two elements: adherence to the enemy, and rendering him aid and comfort. Cramer v. U. S., U.S.N.Y., 325 U.S. l, 65 S.Ct. 918, 9327 89 L.Ed. 1441. See 18 U.S.C.A. § 2381.
Curious how you see Gov. Perry's statements as satisfying any element of treaon, much less both.
I think you'd have a hard time getting a conviction of treason on that. If so, half of the State of Texas could be found guilty. Nice try though!
