Imagine the amount of jail /executions that the US government would need to implement to clean up all the fucking crooked treasonous politicians on the take from Russia/China.
I’m gonna take a pass on the executions angle, but there should absolutely be federal felony charges leveled against a hell of a lot of elected officials. And at least a couple Supreme Court justices.
Do they still execute people for treason?
Yes, it’s one of the specifically enumerated possible punishments. And by all means, if they’re convicted and the severity warrants it, then that should be the sentence. But it should not be applied as a blanket policy.
What about a nice quilt policy? Or casual throw-over policy?
