Thread: Call it what it is: TREASON.

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.

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.

the U.S. Constitution, Article III, §3

High treason, broadly defined, is an action which is grossly disloyal to one's country or sovereign. Participating in a war against one's country, attempting to overthrow its government, and attempting to kill its head of state are perhaps the best known examples of high treason.

Historically, high treason was differentiated from petty treason, which was the act of killing a lawful superior (such as a servant killing his master or mistress). It was, in effect, considered a more serious degree of murder. The concept of petty treason gradually faded, however, and today, use of the word "treason" generally refers to the same thing as "high treason". The law of some countries does not distinguish the two — for example, the Constitution of the United States defines treason as something which, historically, would have been called high treason.

Lets see, 2 witnesses..........I think you could probably find at least 80,000,000 (adults) that would so testify against Bush for treason in NOT DEFENDING THE U.S. AGAINST INVASION.

You and I, girlygirl369, that's two witnesses. That's all we need to initiate the process. We need to get together over a cuppa to discuss this. Your state or mine?
