Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The 5th Amendment does say "capital, and otherwise infamous crime" but there's nothing in the Constitution itself that "acknowledges" capital punishment.
"Sure did, Boss, real unconstitutional, just like you asked."
Complicit Democrats must be held accountable.
Democrats with power have often failed us.
Democrats drive the trains.
Musk, speaking for Trump: Deal, but you have to contract with my The Boring Company to dig the dungeons.
I didn't realise this was even something the AG could do.
But OK….
That’s what we’re getting.
Encouraging the state AG's to implement DP whenever possible expanding its use and a
specifically calling for DP on immigrants who commit federal felonies.
The enthusiasm is barbaric.
Just when you think he's hit rock bottom, Trump plumbs new depths; get used to this feeling, it's gonna' happen a lot.
Prisoners whose actions lead to the death of capitol police during Jan 6 = free. Have I got this right?
They were found *not* guilty by a jury but sentenced on a preceding and recanted guilty plea.
Or maybe not? I’ve never cracked a law book.
But ask someone on the street and they get all eye-for-an-eye and attribute it to their faith. As though the New Testament doesn’t even exist.
or is that going too far?
And these people call themselves Christians. Make it make sense.
I recently told my husband about @adamserwer.bsky.social's phrase "the cruelty is the point.
He said "hey that's a book!"and it's at the top of my TBR shelf.
If you attack a Capital police officer and he survives,
you get a pardon.
Anybody who believed Shady’s whopper is an idiot.
@gtconway.bsky.social was right, this little prick is a psychopath. 😳
The Fed AG explicitly pressuring a state to prosecute would make for an interesting test to it though, in my opinion.
That's what nations that are "founded on the teachings of Christ" would do.
Right, "Christian" MAGAts?
