Is this a traitorous act? I actually don't think so. The Constitution has been clarified, that one can ony act as a traitor during times of war and the USA is not currently at war with Iran.

"The Treason Clause applies only to disloyal acts committed during times of war. Acts of dis-loyalty during peacetime are not considered treasonous under the Constitution" http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/treason

Again, I welcome discussion...if you can try and hold back the insults, perhaps you may even learn a little something.

Clearly the 47 Senators suck big time. They are nasty, made the USA look bad in international eyes, they are dis-loyal and undermined the whole peace process. Which is not too surpriseing since they are the party of war. Hollerin' about treason, when it may not actually fit the circumstances, just makes Dems look foolish.

So, I read that there is a high level of disloyalty. What is the protocal for such acts?
