Treason

Treason. I think it is somewhat like describing pornography. I may not be able to describe it but I surely know it when I see it. Trump and his entire admin. The entirety of the republican members in Congress. The so called Heritage Foundation, and lets not forget the Federalist Society. They are all what I would consider as traitors to our country. Traitors to the oath they took to get into office. The attorneys in the Federalist Society since as lawyers they are members of the Court, they have to take an oath as well. The Heritage Foundation, the propaganda arm of the right. All of them have a singular purpose, and that is to destroy our democracy and the rule of law...for themselves. How can you expect the population to respect the law and law enforcement when the people controlling the country are lawless themselves?

definition of "treason" that most people understand when they see it. You have provided good examples. There is also the definition within the Constitutution, which is distinct from that of common usage. It is important to know the differences.
