Clearly the GOP violated the Logan Act. Should they be prosecuted?

[Mac1958]

No, because you narcissists are causing this country great damage.

And no, I don't expect someone like you to "get it".

.

you shouldnt use this word ever

I make a general point, you folks deflect and make it personal.

Like clockwork.

.

you made an absurd point. Grab your tissues!

Yes, I know, partisan ideologues don't like having to look in the mirror.

Must be unpleasant.

.

that would make sense if it was a fact, but you always run to this excuse when confronted. It gets a little boring when i can predict how you will post.

"Confronted"?

Two catty comments?

Very impressive.

[Little-Acorn]

I actively support and agree with your outrage against U.S. Senators sending letters of support to enemies of this country who are threatening us with nuclear weapons.

Sen. Ted Kennedy's (D-MA) letter to USSR Premier Yuri Andropov in 1983, offering to help him evade then-President Reagan's attempts to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in both countries, ranks among the top treasonous missives in U.S. history.

Kennedy offered to come to Moscow to help the Russians develop propaganda to defeat Reagan's disarmament attempts. He also tried to arrange for Andropov to interview with U.S. media outlets for the same purpose.

As you said, to advise a US enemy, to encourage them to develop a weapon to use against us, these scum have really hit bottom.

Did they commit a felony? Quite possibly. To openly sell out their own country, as you described it, is the worst of the worst.

This happened with a U.S. enemy that had already developed nuclear weapons AND the systems to deliver them onto U.S. cities. They had them aimed right at us, ready to fire. Not just to some backwater wannabe 7th-century dictatorship which the Democrats were insisting would never develop nuclear weapons at all, just nuclear power for "peaceful purposes". So I'm sure you'd agree that what Kennedy did was far more serious than what present-day Republicans have done. Right?

Oops, wrong thread. Can you tell me where's the thread Democrats wrote, expressing their outrage over Kennedy's strange treason? I'll transfer this post there, and erase it here, as soon as I find it.

Ha, an Obamabot still believes we're a nation of laws. How cute. So delusional, doesn't even realize their Dear Leader destroyed any hopes for that a long time ago. He doesn't need Congress, wide open Border, massive NSA spying, awful IRS abuses, and so on. Just a petty Dictator wannabe. Nothing more, nothing less.

ROFLMNAO!

This from the idiots that appointed JOHN KERRY to Secretary of State.

Recall that Kerry SAT down with the Government of North Vietnam, DURING THE VIETNAM WAR in a foreign Country,... then brought back THE ENEMIES 7 Point Plan and PUBLISHED TO THE US PUBLIC ON NATIONAL TELEVISION... he THEN WENT ABOUT SELLING IT TO CROWDS AROUND THE COUNTRY.

Now the US Constitution defines treason as:

"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."

Establishing JOHN KERRY as a Traitor to the United States... even as he tries to provide Iran with the means to acquire NUCLEAR WEAPONS and the 47 Americans who called him on it.

 

[Vigilante]

This DEAL is NOT a treaty, but an agreement between a current seated president, and Iran.... The next president can sweep it away with the flash of his pen, and drop the phone on the floor!

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

So what is the Logan Act? Unless you're familiar with rarely used, early American laws, you may have never heard of it.


...

Monroe and his letter to Logan which was intercepted by Pickering: I was actually reading about it all when the news of the 47 broke. The British Treaty/Jay's Treaty

Why would anyone be prosecuted for violating it? Is it Constitutional? And if you want to point out how the Right Wing is always trying to impeach people for ridiculousness you could have and should have done a better job at it

this from an idiot who believes if Kerry really committed treason the Republicans and Democrats at that time would not have had him tried.

Absolutely, go after 'em full speed.

Then they can prosecute whoever for Bengahzi or whatever.

Then hopefully all you partisan ideologues will be kept so busy that the adults can start trying to fix things.

Ready, set, go!

.

Because terrorists attacking a US ambassador who refused to leave is exactly the same as scuttling Nuclear Proliferation Talks. Got it.

Scuttled the talks, really, here I thought they were still going on. Why is the left so full of fucking drama queens and liars?

A felony punishable by fine and three years in prison. What do you think? After what they've done to this president and to the country, should they be prosecuted?

The Congress-Folk who sent the letter ARE part of the US Government...

Consequently, they HAVE 'the authority of the United States'.

Next slide, please.

Thank you! I've been trying to remember the name of that law for a week now. Ever since these little Israeli kiss-asses were saying, "What law did the 47 break?"

Well, you little Israeli bitches, that law!

Isn't that ADORABLE?

I just adore watching the Intellectually Less Fortunate try to reason.

LOL!

And did ya hear about the "Petitition" around which the Relativists gathered, to 'inform government' that they want the 47 Americans who defended American Principle... arrested and charged with treason?

LMAO! And in so doing, they prove their irretrievable ignorance of Law... .

Demonstrating once again that to which Madison spoke i Federalist 10, wherein he noted the fiery demise of all social-democrat states.

ROFL! It reminds me of a pup I used to own that would hop up on its hind legs when I walked 'im. LOL! He thought he was human, too... . Just absolutely precious.

Ted Kennedy should have been prosecuted

Kerry still can be. He had dealings with the North Vietnamese delegation for peace talks in Paris. He helped them prepare to get better arrangements with the US. That is both a violation of the Logan act and an act of Treason.
