Treason
1. a crime that undermines the offender's government
2. disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior
3. treachery: an act of deliberate betrayal
Prominent members of Congress are being accused of this very serious crime because they:
A. donated thousands ofdollars to terrorist organizations
B. met with terrorist leaders and pledged their support
C. spoke out strongly against the war in Iraq
The first two actions are treasonous. The last is freedom of speech.
Did they commit treason? Or did they exercise their Constitutional rights and responsibilities? (You remember the Constitution, don't you? That ancient document which says something about the right of the legislative branch, not the executive, to declare and fund war.)
I miss the Constitution.
