TREASON (to supplement my submittal of yesterday):

Please go to "treason principals" under Google and then go down to "treason against the United States". You will see some quotes from Coke and also the original Congressional handling of treason (before CJ Marshall and the Burr case).

It is obvious to those familiar with the common law of England (scant numbers), which became a part of our law where applicable, that "all are principals in treason" therefore Aaron Burr was a principal and his physical location was irrelevant contrary to the Chief Justice's decision (and not any other members of the Supreme Court) in the Burr case.

Our constitution was amended by the Chief Justice in a trial he handled himself--this is not kosher! Article V provides the procedure for amendment to the Constitution and very difficuolt it is. The implications of the Chief Justice's action are beyond my comprehension--the primary grip on momentous acts of our government officials was summarily removed. Treason was amply limited to two acts by the Founding Fathers: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only of levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort" which limitation should be ample for us today. Our citizens need this missing tool properly enforced by the Executive branch as other criminal laws, and our government officials require the onus of this Consititutional provision for correct behavior in carrying out their duties.

This is truly unique situation. No other Chief Justice would have the motivation (gall) or ability to carry forth such a momentous contrivance.

Your present definition is lacking seriously in depth (which is exactly what CJ Marshall intended).
