Treason

[77]

Cause yobama said to!

[PN-G bamatex]

you didnt hear about the letter the 47 republicans sent to the leader of Iran opposing President Obama's nuclear program. That was wrong. Treason definition: the act of betraying someone or something, the crime of betraying one's country.

 

 

That's the general dictionary definition of treason, which is the incorrect one for the purpose of you assertion. The legal definition of treason, as provided in Article III, Section 3, the United States Constitution, reads as follows:

 

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

 

47 US Senators banding together to send a letter to the leader of a foreign country informing said leader that a deal he is currently negotiating with the President of the United States will not be upheld by the United States Senate, as the Constitution requires, does not constitute treason under this definition.

Kinda like aid and comforting to the terrorist being released from GITMO.

Dear Secretary Kerry:

I find your opposition to congressional oversight offensive and hypocritical and your posture towards Israel deeply disturbing.

Appearing on CBS News' “Face the Nation,” you described the letter forty-seven U.S. Senators signed and sent to Iranian officials regarding ongoing nuclear negotiations as “unconstitutional.” Congress has the constitutional responsibility to serve as a check-and-balance on the executive branch. As has been done with immigration, health care and many other issues, the Obama Administration is once again deliberately bypassing Congress and exceeding its constitutional authority.

Frankly, your criticisms are hypocritical. You launched yourself into the public spotlight by directly and publicly criticizing the executive branch in a Senate committee hearing forty-four years ago. In 1985, you did more than just send a letter to a foreign nation—you flew to Nicaragua to negotiate with Daniel Ortega and other Sandinistas despite express opposition from the Reagan Administration.

You describe the Senate letter as “unprecedented” and “wrong.” The fact is, your willingness to trust Iran and undermine Israel is what is unprecedented and wrong.

Moreover, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently came to Washington and explained how a deal with Iran would spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, threaten Israel's existence and embolden terrorists around the world. Prime Minister Netanyahu is a Churchill in a world full of Chamberlains. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East and Iran is the world’s largest sponsor of terrorism. As an American, I am embarrassed that you, Vice President Biden and other high-ranking administration officials boycotted Netanyahu’s address to Congress yet never miss an opportunity to visit with Iranian leaders.

I have the greatest respect for your long record of service to our country, beginning with combat in Vietnam. During those difficult years, you risked your life in a war that many Americans experienced only from afar. I also respect your role as Secretary of State. Hopefully, you will extend respect to those faithfully executing their oath of office in the U.S. Senate and to Prime Minister Netanyahu, who like you, want to stop terrorism worldwide.

Respectfully,

 

Governor Mike Huckabee

BigGirl -- I've stated that Democrat Senators did the same thing when Reagan was president.  Even had documentation through a link.  Why do you ignore this??

Hey, BigGirl -- your silence is deafening!

Hey, BigGirl -- your silence is deafening!

I dont get on the site everyday, I cant stomach it. Again, the GOP senators looked like idiots. They should be embarrassed. Imagine how much worse it wouldve been if the President said nay and the senators told Niketa to ignore him

I understand the idea that you don't like what they did, think they were undermining the president, etc.

 

I can accept that as your honest opinion.  

 

It is the calls of treason and other violations of the law (Logan Act) that makes your position untenable. 

 

Not liking it? Great.

 

A crime because you don't like it? Not in the least.

stop wasting yall's time with her.  Remember Trayvon martin and Michael Brown wasn't guilty of anything.

[mat]

I have to agree it was probably not a good idea.
