In reply to the discussion: It's TREASON not sedition [View all]Cirsium
(3,835 posts)30. It was a serious question
My original post was sincere and innocent. Do you think that if a war is undeclared that treason cannot occur?
My subsequent tongue-in-cheek responses should have been more than sufficient to demonstrate to anyone that I was not looking for a fight, perhaps at least demonstrate that to anyone who was not themselves looking for a fight.
I think the history of treason charges and convictions shows that there is no hard and fast "legal definition" in practice.
So, when Jane Fonda was president, did she or did she not have a picture of Putin on the wall? Was Viet Nam a war, or was it not a war? What role might G. Gordon Liddy play now in the Iran/Epstein affair, were he around? So many questions.

I've read all your posts in this thread, and I didn't know any of them were "tongue in cheek" until I came to this one.
