For one I could not give a shit what you think the legal definition of treason is. Murdering your own innocent people because or their own false hoods makes you an enemy of the state and a traitor. Look below and tell me what the last administration have done is not "serious" enough for you. |
You haven't one iota of truth to your statement, "Murdering your own innocent people." Don't give a shit what I think treason is. Give a shit what the constitution defines it as...
| quote: | | In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's sovereign or nation. Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife (treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petit treason). A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor. |
Stop using that definition. This is the LEGAL definition of treason...
"Article 3: Section 3. 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, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
| quote: | | Obama does not wish to pursue the torture issue choosing instead to move forward and ignore the ugly past of the last administration. This does not mean it did not happen, he does not have the balls (at least for now) to bring it to the table and a few people around here seem to be missing some balls as well. |
Then why the fuck are they releasing more photos? Why are they talking about prosecuting former Justice Dept. officials. Once again, you show you don't know what the fuck you'r talking about...

Still waiting for the people to charge, the charge, and the evidence for the charges, which you so adamantly advocate everyday on this forum. Apparently, you want to charge Cheney with treason. But refuse to provide evidence beyond, "He murdered his own people." What a fucking joke...
