Nice try............

Treason under US law is defined in the US Constitution, Article III, Section 3 as follows:

Section 3

1: 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.

2: 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.


Clearly, no Repubs. are engaged in treason....a reasonable case can be made that McDermott was. However, I would charge him only with criminal stupidity. I think he's not smart enough to commit treason....he's a Dem.
