I don't think so. This is the law regarding treason:

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

The Republican senators don't appear to be liable under the law. But gosh, I hope every one of the bastards who signed this is made to answer for it in the polling booth.
Having sworn an oath to defend our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic, I'm ashamed of these cunts.
