Via Daily Caller:
It’s been some time since a United States citizen was tried and convicted of treason, a crime that carries some serious penalties, according to the U.S. Code:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Perhaps HBO “Real Time” host Bill Maher doesn’t realize the seriousness of such a charge. On his Friday program, Maher elaborated on the suggestion he made in a tweet that President Barack Obama’s opponents are guilty of treason for blocking his economic initiatives.
Maher set up his explanation by reminding viewers of a gaffe Obama had made earlier in the day, when he said the private sector was “doing just fine,” and how his Republican opponents will use that statement against him from now until the election this fall.
