Did Nancy Pelosi Commit Treason...

Yes she did. But it would be more telling if someone dug up the relevant thread from 2007, assuming even the Republicans gave a shit.
 
This was covered in forestdumps thread on the other politics board...lets see how well you shuck and jive.

Congressman Nick Joe Rahall (D-WV) appeared on C-Span yesterday morning, and did a great job defending those on the trip to Syria, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the outrageous lies that have been foisted on the American people by the administration, many Republicans, and the main stream media. A post on Think Progress about Congressman Rahall can be read, and a video viewed showing the Congressman shooting down a "Republican" caller regarding the lies that have been told about the trip. The post can be seen on on Think Progress here. He makes it very clear that Bush knew they were making the trip and offered no objections...
Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV), who traveled last week with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as part of her delegation to the Middle East, said this morning on C-Span that Pelosi told Bush of the trip to Syria a day before they left, and Bush did not object.


Rahall said, "The Speaker had met with President Bush in the halls of the U.S. Capitol just the day before we left and mentioned to him that we were going to Syria. No response at all from the President."
Despite the White House's public rhetoric that the trip was a "bad idea," President Bush "did not tell her not to go, nor did the State Department tell us not to go," Rahall said. "The State Department was certainly aware of our traveling to Syria and our full itinerary. And there were State Department officials in every meeting that we had on this codel. So that is all hogwash as far as I'm concerned."

The complete interview with Congressman Rahall can be viewed on C-Span here. Its great to see one of our Congressmen stepping up to the plate, and doing a great job. I'd love to see him on one of the mainstream media Sunday talk shows. He has no trouble using words like "baloney" and "hogwash" when necessary.

CALLER: I am a Republican. And I thought under the Logan Act that Ms. Pelosi has committed a felony because under our Constitution, section 2 of the Constitution, that the president is the one who conducts — sends the people off, to conduct our foreign affairs. Now he told her he didn’t want her to go. That is a violation of the Logan Act. She should be hauled off in jail because if i was to commit a felony, i’d be hauled off and gone to jail.
RAHALL: First of all, that’s baloney. We were in violation of no u.s. laws. Second of all, the President did not tell her not to go, nor did the State Department tell us not to go. There were three Republican members of Congress in Damascus a few days before our trip. There was a Republican member of Congress in Damascus meeting with the President after our trip.

Get real, read the Constitution. There is a separation of powers, Congress cannot have it's own foreign policy. The Logan Act has been around since 1799 and was revised in 1994.
 
I'm not seeing a thread as I'm digging through google, I'll try for a while cus I'm curious if a thread even exists or if this basically went unnoticed by everybody.
 
Maybe someday people will learn.
Politicians do not have to obey the law. They can do any damn thing they want to and tell the people to get fucked. That goes for both parties. There isn't a shortage of criminals in either party.

Totally agree. It's a shame we're so concerned with this now.. How long ago was it? Much bigger issues need solving.
 
In no time in the history of man have the rich of politically connected had to follow laws and according to everything I've read this is a law that nobody has EVER truly used and I'm sure we could find tons of cases. What exactly constitutes speaking to a leader on behalf of America? I mean did Dennis Rodman break this law a few years back?

I didn't realize you had addressed me, sorry about that. With the exception of the ratification of treaties, or the confirmation of ambassadors, or officers, The foreign policy of the United States is the sole Prerogative of the President and the State Department.

Pelosi thread 2007 I didn't comment in that thread, it seems that the general consensus was she was wrong, she fucked up and nobody cares.

Also a of questioning on what specifically the law means in real terms. Which is what I expect will happen this time. I'd bet money that Obama mentions this maybe in passing, no official action will be taken and by Monday it will be a forgotten topic.
 
When she traveled to Syria to negotiate with Assad in order to undermine George Bush?

...or did Ted Kennedy commit treason when he wrote to the Soviet Union asking them to intervene in the 1984 elections on behalf of the Democrat Party in order to undermine Ronald Reagan...

Did Senators John Sparkman (D-AL) and George McGovern violate the Logan Act when they visited Cuba?

If she did, then so did 47 GOP Senators, at least according to LJ.

Care to explain how one differs from the other, besides "My side is right and their side are commieatheistsocialistnaziislamofascistfaggotsandIhatehatehatethem?"

I will answer you, One Sick NIGGER Bastard, but being that you are One Sick NIGGER bastard, you wont get it

when FAG Kerry wrote the Dear Commandante letter, he was SIDING with the ENEMY against the US, when KILLER Kennedy invited the Russians to intervene in the 84 elections he was siding with the enemy against the US, when PUSSY PELOSI went to Assad, the PUSSY was siding with the enemy against US

and NIGGER?
