The first part of this essay presented the Constitutional definition of treason against the united States:

• Actual waging of war against them
• Adhering to their enemies; giving their enemies aid and comfort

The Constitution also specified that no person could be convicted of treason unless there were two testifying witnesses or upon confession in open court.

I marvel at the ‘preciseness and flexibility’ of these words.  The Founders expected that the practical lessons of history would inform the use of these words and concepts appropriately as our Republic evolved.

One Last Note!

For more than a year, this blog, all of the blogs on the roll on the right, and all of TD’s readers and writers have been sounding the alarm, riding that horse in the dead of night, shouting, that a storm of unknown magnitude is upon us.  Just like the picture that heads TD’s blog.

“A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable for he is known and carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself… for the traitor appears no traitor: He speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their faces and their garments, he appeals to the baseless that lies deep in the souls of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is to be less feared.” ~ Cicero

This storm is upon us now, make no mistake.  But nothing is inevitable for America,  because love of country has, can, and will change all. It is just a matter of time.

In case you’re wondering, the Liberty Bell below is calling you, me, and all of America.  The ‘prettiest sound on earth’ is the ring of freedom.
