Ted " they are playing with treason.." The Bushies used to say it was TREASON to speak against the Iraq invasion. Then what I am saying is not the same. Saying that you want the US to default on its obligations which imperils the US economy and in turn, its gov't is a form of treason: The United States Constitution defines treason as, and with, the following parameters: Waging war against the federal or state governments of the United States of America criminallawyerdenton.com Criticizing the war is not wishing for the war to fail or for the gov't to fall. War hawks may not like it but its not treason. Wanting a debt default is wishing the gov't to fail. With the Rs, specifically the teapers, I am hearing more and more that they want the gov't to fail. By definition, I consider that a form of treason.
