FROM "IN DEFENSE OF RURAL AMERICA" — “America’s state religion is patriotism, a phenomenon which has convinced many of the citizenry that ‘treason’ is morally worse than murder or rape.” William Blum, American author and critic of United States foreign policy
Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution states that “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.”
The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”
Three important words are used in this expanded definition of treason: “allegiance,” “adhering” and “loyalty.” “Allegiance” is defined as: “loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or a cause.” “Loyalty,” in general use, is defined as “a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy, group, or person.” “Adhering” means “in support of.”
The above definitions of treason and the President’s oath of office beg several questions:
1. Have the actions of the current president, his cabinet, his subordinates, the federal bureaucracy, or the U.S. Congress risen to the level of treason under the two constitutional definitions: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort”?
4. Do opening up our borders to national security concerns, humanitarian issues, or people, sex and drug trafficking, and “forcing” the American taxpayer to pay for it all, plus openly lie to us by stating that the “Borders Are Closed” rise to the level of violating the Constitution’s treason clause?
5. Does federalizing the voting laws as the Congress is attempting to do under House Bill HR1 and Senate Bill S1 and taking all voting rights away from the states without a Constitutional Amendment constitute a treasonable violation?
6. Does repealing the Electoral College or the Senate filibuster rule in an attempt to seize perpetual political power violate the treason clause?
