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

[DragonBorn]

50. Are you being serious?

You clearly spent a lot of time researching and writing this but do you seriously want to criminalize political action by an opposing political party and political group? You know what type of people would support that? Fascists and authoritarians. Vote with me or be imprisoned.

Their actions while disagreeable do not rise to illegal conduct. It does not give aid or comfort to our enemy, you are deliberately stretching that definition until it is unrecognizable. I'm not going to even both addressing why this is such a mess instead lets play devils advocate.

Gun Control, is that treasonous action against the U.S. Constitution?

Well the 2nd says, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

Oh I'm sure some Republicans would love to declare the Brady Group a terrorist organization, and all democratic legislators who voted for gun control measure to be tried for treason. Do you see the door you open when you try to criminalize valid political action? It would become a mess and if you think our country is already fractured just see what happens if crap like this ever comes to pass. It really will be us vs them. A country divided cannot stand.

What about the counter argument that by raising the debt ceiling while simultaneously refusing to cut government spending is leading us into a black hole of debt that we will be unable to recover from. That republicans are trying save the country from an even worse collapse! This actually bothers me the most because I belive the first part. If we dont cut our spending (Which no one seems to want to do) it will cause the destruction of our country.

What to know what my responce would be to this situation? VOTE THEM ALL OUT! If we cannot muster enough of our own to just go to the voting booth once every couple of years then its our own damn fault. We should not be criminalizing another parties political action because we disagree with them or couldn't win at the voting booth.

I mean hell, Bush lied us into a war and him and his entire cabinet are free and clear. How about we prosecute some actual criminal actions that have taken place at the highest office in our country rather then start making some up.
