Quote:Section 3 - Treason
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.
Of course, for republibertarianeo-conazis "treason" apparently means voting to either tax the rich or help the poor/middle classes.
Bingo. The founding fathers wanted to make Treason a very serious & difficult charge to prove because the British handed charges of Treason against the Crown out like candy.
Now we have morons like Rick Perry who throw it around just as loosely.
