You do realize, don't you, that you're supporting the FedGov sending armed troops or Federal Agents to arrest someone in the middle of the night, try them by a Military Court under UCMJ ( even though the person in question is a civillian ) and impose upon them deportation, stripping of Citizenship, or death? Do you really grasp the level of tyranny that you're lending your support to?
Of course, considering that the USA PARTIOT act and 9-11 Bill also allow all these things, I'm not surprised.

I'm aware that the Constitution and Bill of Rights is NOT a suicide pact. I'm also aware that treason is most definitely a constitutionally defined crime (Article 3 Section 3) and that the Bill of Rights specifically mentions capital crimes in Amendment 5. If a person is tried and convicted of treason and sentenced to death, it's 100% constitutional. And that's EXACTLY what we're talking about here..."giving aid and comfort to the enemy".
