Economic Treason: The definition of "treason" and could Republicans be guilty of this crime (Part 2)

3. Thank you for

this eloquent and well structured presentation!

I do think that a charge of malfeasance is appropriate but I can't help but think there are additional legal terms that would help frame the argument.

Last night I heard a Congressional entity call them "insurrectionists" and I thought that was an interesting term. So I looked up the Insurrection Act and found that it could, in part, be applicable but entails the use of the military on US soil during a natural disaster, public unrest or something similar by decree of the President. After some consideration I thought that would also be problematic.

I looked up the parameters within which the president could declare a national emergency and found that we are already in a declared national emergency that has been carried over since the previous administration. In the pile of text which I read about that it appears that such a declaration (they must be specific in identification of the national threat so there can be several simultaneous declarations in effect at one time) could be implemented by the President should the Tea Party faction also hold the debt ceiling issue hostage as well since they would be bringing intentional harm to the well being of the nation... in this case it would be economically, which is a valid condition for such a declaration.

A national emergency is an interesting condition to impose (many were really unhappy when GWB attempted to impose one after 9/11 but did not actually declare it in his language at the time, he eluded to one but never formally declared one and we all sort of pretended that he had) but probably the least difficult condition to implement.

Given that the TPs have in fact declared on recorded media that they had intended to shut down the government since before the 2010 election and to present time, they are guilty of collusion with intent to do harm to the economic well being of the nation as well as committing malfeasance by intending to do so while taking an oath of office whereby they swore to protect the Constitution of the government they have intended to destroy all along.

These are serious charges and I, for one, am tired of these individuals holding office and being funded not only the taxpayers whom the intend to harm but also benefactors who have purchased their seats in office for the specific purpose of harming the nation, its people and their government via insurrectionist maneuvers and doing so with impunity. This must end and immediately.

We the People are entitled to immediate recourse through legal means in order to preserve our government, our economic well being and the well being of this nation as a whole. These individuals should be removed from office and banished from holding office in any capacity for life.

I invite any legal professionals and academics to help us figure out which is the proper procedure for citizens to take action against the domestic enemies within our government. As Sam has mentioned above, waiting for recourse at the ballot station may be too late.
