It's cite a source, btw...

Wow that’s interesting. You are having a cognitive disconnect moment.

Here I am defending the U.S. Constitution, and you keep excusing the government usurping it. Then you site it. LOL!

Priceless....

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Treason:
US Constitution, Article III Section 3

Which reads:

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.

Now, we agree that Snowden did not wage war on the several states — so let's exclude that and move on to the other condition:
adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort

That's a bit more arguable — you assert that taking the info to Asia qualifies, others do not saying that there's no single incident to which the government can or will point as being compromised — Now in order to secure a conviction of Treason, by the Constitution, such would have to be explicitly revealed in court to qualify as the overt act.

Now, there are people in our government that surly qualify for Treason: just look at the refusal to stop the invasion on our southern borders. That is aiding and providing comfort to the enemies of several States.
