You don't have to commit treason

to be a traitor. Some synonyms for traitor are, betrayer, backstabber, double-crosser, turncoat, snake. Politicians and supreme court judges are traitors to the American people. They have betrayed our trust in them to protect the constitution and our rights. And being a traitor is not a crime unless you commit treason. Your just a backstabbing lying piece of shit. That's why our bought off politicians don't go to jail. Where are the checks and balances for our voice besides voting another traitor into the good ole boys club. 98% of them are fine with being a traitor because it pays very well.

There seems to be no legal word for the actions of the politicians that harm the country. So that makes all their bribes and anti American actions untouchable to law.

The most it would do would have the Chief Justice oversee the Senate trial for removal of a president that had been impeached in the House.

The Constitution presumes lying politicians will be dealt with at the ballot box.
