This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance.The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, 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. You can refer also to Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution.
That said, the title link above takes you to a blog post regarding the Communist Party USA's intentions to "defend China against the US" should there ever be "hostilities." It is not good to throw the word "treason" around indiscriminately, however, at some point you have to wonder what constitutes treason.
This is an especially good question as it relates to China in light of the recent "contrail" event off the coast of Los Angeles. It's a plane! It's a missile! It's a.....?! What if it WAS a missile contrail?
Where do Jed Brandt's comments about the "destruction of what we call the United States fit in?
If I "opt out" of the new TSA invasive screening procedures I get to be on Homeland Security's list as a "domestic extremist." You'd think they'd worry just a bit more about CPUSA, the New Black Panther Party or the Brecht Forum, but that's just my opinion. What about you?
