| | Article Three of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Constitution defines treason as specific acts, namely "levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." A contrast is therefore maintained with the English law, whereby a variety of crimes, including conspiring to kill the King or "violating" the Queen, were punishable as treason. | | | The descendants of someone convicted for treason could not, as they were under English law, be considered "tainted" by the treason of their ancestor. | | | United States, the Court ruled that "every act, movement, deed, and word of the defendant charged to constitute treason must be supported by the testimony of two witnesses". |

| | Hurst: The Law of Treason: 5 |
| | The evidence is overwhelming that the treason clause of the United States Constitution was intended to limit the scope to be given to the offense of treason; and it is upon that admonition of policy that the courts' opinions have since centered. | | | The relation between the history of the riot cases and the treason cases is implicit in the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of Utah in State v. | | | Certiorari was granted, and after argument at the October Term, 1943, the Supreme Court invited reargument addressed both to the meaning of "treason" under the Constitutional definition, and the sufficiency thereunder of the proof in Cramer's case. |

| | Spinsanity - Screed: With Treason, Ann Coulter once again defines a new low in America's political debate |
| | Article III of the United States Constitution specifies that "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 longer content to merely smear liberals and the media with sweeping generalizations and fraudulent evidence, she has now upped the ante, accusing the entire Democratic Party as well as liberals and leftists nationwide of treason, a crime of disloyalty against the United States. | | | In latching onto a powerful word with a specific legal meaning and casually leveling the charge as a blanket accusation against a wide array of people (as she did with slander, which is a defamatory verbal statement), Coulter is attempting to smear virtually anyone who disagrees with her views on foreign policy as treasonous. |

| | According to Radio4 and one of the major law lord type folks Treason is not the appropriate crime and is unlikely to actually be used since no lawyer in the last 60 years has any experience whatsoever of it. | | | Apparently it'll be a new law on inciting terrorism/incitement to murder as the criminal system is used to dealing with these kind of cases and prosecuting them. | | | Surely there are existing laws anyway to deal with such things. |

| | The Treason Trial of Aaron Burr |
| | The defense countered, arguing that to establish the crime of treason the prosecution must prove that an overt act of treason had been committed by the defendant in a war and that, under the Constitution, the overt act must be testified to by two witnesses and must have occurred in the district of the trial. | | | Taylor, as well as several other witnesses, were called to testify concerning events in December of 1806 at Blennerhassett's Island--the prosecution's one overt act of treason on which it pinned its case. | | | Marshall also weighed a defense motion for a subpoena duces tecum to be directed to the President, requiring that he turn over certain letters from Wilkinson that might be helpful to the defense. |

| | This is a story that reveals an alleged act of cynical treason by at least two senior Bush administration officials. | | | The American media, with the exception of David Corn's column in "The Nation," however, believes that such a story doesn't have "news value." But full court press coverage, with multiple articles on Kobe Bryant's "little problem," is worthy of page one treatment. | | | How could the print media, in particular, ignore a likely bombshell scandal about members of the Bush administration who destroyed the usefulness of a CIA intelligence officer specializing in the very issue that the administration claimed it went to war about? |
