hypo, there is a lot of truth to your statement, the question I posted in the poll isn't really quite clear. I guess in my opinion we are a republic until we ammend the constitution. So, what do we do about it is the question. How many americans have taken the oath to defend the Constitution? Being a Republic it is our duty to rule by law, not by mob rule or popular vote. If a law violates the Constitution it is null and void.
I think Chuck Norris recently said on Glenn Beck that he may need to run for President of Texas!
Here's a way of looking at something:
US Constitution
Article III, Section 3
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.
Given that the Oath of enlistment for political offices and the military states that you will "defend the Constitution against all enemies forgein and domestic", those who seek to cause harm to the Constitution are enemies, be they forgein or domestic. "...or in adhering to their Enemies", so if one supports allowing our Constitution to be trampled on by allowing a democracy, gun laws or so forth, they are commiting treason.
Now you may think about the video of the Marine, was he commiting treason by discussing revolution? Only if the the revolution is against the United States, but I think it would be against the traitors who have committed treason, not against the United States, therefore his idea of Revolution would NOT be Treason by definition.
Oh, and by the way, I'm not calling for an armed revolution.
