5. Yes

anything is pardonable.

But I doubt there will be any treason indictments. The constitutional definition of treason is pretty strict.

8. Impeachments are not pardonable

and any government official can be impeached. Whether or not Congress would bother is a different issue.

14. sorry

I should've clarified.

Criminal convictions are pardonable. Impeachment is a political process, and has nothing to do with pardons.

11. I think it's pretty clear that

revealing the identity of a spy is treason.

15. Me too

The only Hell I know of is the one THEY make for us here.

I made this bumper sticker a few minutes ago so that I can offend as many republicans as possible. They should suffer some sort of painful indignity upon seeing it. If it makes them angry at me and causes them heartburn, then GOOD! I've accomplished something. :)

If I can affordably print these out somewhere, perhaps someone will do it for free, I plan to pepper this entire city with them, among other offensive stickers.

21. Then by all means please view Beyond Treason

www.beyondtreason.com
The DVD is under $20, it is new, relevant, and imo should be viewed by every American. Plus it is FREE to all vets.
