Unconstitutional laws should not be enforced I wish our founding fathers had defined treason more broadly "subversion of the constitution" should be an act of treason.

There is a very good reason that they so narrowly defined treason--a definition as broad as you desire could turn politics into wave after wave of purges as each side gets into office and starts gunning for the former officeholders.

May not be a bad thing it would cut down on the # of politicians.
