[Big girl]

Those 47 republicans should be punished. Smh

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Huh?

[RETIREDFAN1]

She's struggling with the definition of treason.....I'd be willing to be she doesn't know it......and I'd LOVE to see her fit what the 47 courageous senators did into that definition.......

Huh?[/quote you didnt hear about the letter the 47 republicans sent to the leader of Iran opposing President Obama's nuclear program. That was wrong. Treason definition: the act of betraying someone or something, the crime of betraying one's country.

stupid not courageous. John McCain said it wasnt a good idea in hindsight.

[Big girl]

If you dont see anything wrong with those politicians did, you have a big problem. What they did is not acceptable

Oh, I heard about that. Also there's some lawyers who say it was against the law.

Look up Logan's Act. It is illegal.

Read United States vs Curtis Wright Export Corporation,299 US 304, It states that" only the President alone has the power to speak or listen as a representative of the nation. He consults with the Senate, but he alone negotiates, the Senate cannot intrude."

John McCain is a senile, bloodthirsty old man who should have been put out to pasture long ago......

You called it treason.....how do you figure that???

[tvc184]

The claim of treason is ridiculous. All a person has to do is look up the law on treason and see how stupid the claim is. To make it short, treason requires waging war against the US or giving aid and comfort to enemies. 

 

The Logan Act claim is another joke. There has never been a prosecution for it and it is likely unconstitutionally vague in any case. The very title of the Logan Act in the US Code is Private Correspondence with Foreign Governments. 

 

I supposed that some think that the US Congress is "private correspondence". 

 

The letter sent to Iran only states US law and Constitution. If stating the law is a crime, then there sure must be a lot of criminals out there. Had part of Congress tried to carry on separate negotiations it might have some valid point but the senators merely stating the law is hardly a violation of the Private Correspondence with Foreign Governments law.

What? No one word response from big girl?

Big gal doesn't understand the full impact of a nuclear Iran bombing Israel. Maybe someone else will fill in the blanks for her. Her education is failing her.

No problem...it's OK for Democrats.

[5GallonBucket]

WOW

 

If anyone is closer to Treason by their actions/inactions it would be Obama before these 47

[Big girl]

It is not ok for anyone to do it. I am glad Senators didnt do this during the Cuban missile crisis. Can you imagine? Why are some Senators apologizing if they didnt do anything wrong?

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS.

[jv_coach]

I thought this was going to be about Hillary Clinton treachery with her e-mails.

[RETIREDFAN1]

Because some senators had spinectomys and castration before taking office.......
