The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States; or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.” #2 is sort of easy to understand. "If there was a group of people that were trying to overthrow the American political process and a guy named Ben told the group "you guys can plan out your actions while staying at the hotel that I own" then Ben is just as guilty as anyone of the other planners! But lets look at #1...“levying war” What does it mean to "levy" something? The word means to "raise or collect"...simply said the word "levying" can be understood as 'using a lever or a pry bar'. An example is World War I was started when someone assassinated arch duke Frantz Ferdenan. If say Jerry had a gun and he was trying to shoot the guy sitting next to Frantz Ferdenan and Ben pushed Jerry's arm, then Jerry might be considered to have been the pry bar that caused Frantz to be shot. We have examined what it means to "levy" something...now lets consider the word "war". Defining 'war' is sort of easier, war happens whenever two forces collide (even if the war is a game of playing cards!) If say Jerry and Ben were going to participate in a card game of war, and your job was to deal out the playing cards and somehow you knew that you were giveing all of the high value cards to Jerry...then you would be guilty of "levying"! Now which example do you want me to point to as an example of 'How the democrat party has been unfairly dealing the cards?' (Of course we dont like cheats to much)...but moreover how is what the democratic party is doing to try to "sway the oppinions of Americans", how can what is being done not be considered "levying war" https://www.vox.com/politics/23683949/trump-indictment-democrats-2024-election https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/5-twists-upend-democrats-2024-election-plans-rcna129935 The media is openly admiting that 'the trap that the democrats laid for Trump...the trap that was intended to unfairly influence a toss up that the state/goverment was trying to make fair...it looks like it failed' So what is being said is 'The treasonous trap that the democrats laid did not work' (the tone of voice that the news media is reporting the story with is 'oh better luck next time!' The tone of my voice is "we have some national traitors in our midst" I would like to hear peoples opinion on what I am saying. Other Americans have just as much right to sound off as I do. So "speak on" (Because its not like the news media has been doing a great job!) Post Reply

Yes, there are treasonous things going on. But a Democrat controlled Senate won't want to confront their own for acts of treason. Post Reply
