I am just gobsmacked at the arrogance these assaholics at the NYT are showing.
It was vital to the public interest?!!??
Bite my crank! (if I had one!)
Oh yeah...I'm really worried that MY millions of dollars that I have invested off shore or in Europe were being tracked-as I'm sure you were too, Cookie-hell, all of us gazillionaires had reasons to be concerned, eh?
Aren't the sedition and treason laws still on the books somewhere? Or are those just quaint and antiquated silly rules, like those you read about in funny trivia articles?
Saleem's Fashions for Gals Big N Small just called: The burqua that the Old Gray Lady needed altered is ready!
Oh Lady...super comment...LMAO...especially at the "bite my crank...if I had one"...a good laugh....and the burqua...priceless......
WTR and fellow bloggers: A Trivia question - What is the ONLY crime defined in the Constitution of the United States? (And, for the cupie doll, what is the penalty?)
"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.
The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."
Section 3, Article 3
I'll see your kewpie doll and raise ya
a Milwaukee's Best Light if you can translate that last paragraph into modern English.
WTR - ANOTHER person who has actually READ the USC! I thought my old Catholic school was the last to ever demand that...
At any rate, "Corruption of Blood" means your FAMILY - All your blood relatives, were tainted by your act - and the Forfeiture could only apply to the person who actually committed the act - not his family (sons, etc...) after he was executed. BECAUSE - the normal penalty is DEATH (Read that Mr. Keller!!) but his estate could not be attached for the crime AFTER he was executed.
I may not be a lawyer, but I LOVE history.
And, by the way - hoist that light to Cookie for me for running a cool blog!
T...first off...thanks you mate fer nice compliment..but in my relatively short time as a blogger...I have found that one of the things that makes a blog COOL...is the people who visit and leave comments...like WTR...she never fails to amaze me with the depth of her knowledge and her writing skills...very much like Missy Buster (The Kansas Terror)...watch out fer her. Thanks agin fer stoppin by Mate....the Cookster....
T, thanks for the translation! That makes more sense now.Like the King James bible, the language of the Constitution leaves me going Huh? a lot of times.
There are some now that are speculating that this story was intentionally handed over to the NYT to see what they would do. Either way, the libs are following their VietNam Template in just about all aspects of the war in Iraq.
The youngsters (the 20 to 30 bunch)don't see it, but all us crabby old geezers can clearly see where this is all going.
Thanks for the way too generous words, Cookie. I'm blushing!
Now, here's a question: how many American citizens have ever been convicted of treason?
Also--why isn't anyone calling for the prosecution of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal? They published much the same article, on the same day, as the NYT. Is it only treasonous when allegedly liberal allegedly Jewish people do it?
