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.

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