Assisting Insurrectionists, like paying them, transporting them, and directing them, IS treason, by definition. Trump is a traitor. You're not a lawyer, so your opinion is not worth any more than mine.

SCOTUS decisions change with the times. That's the excuse you're using, and that's what I'm betting on.

Are you saying that "treason" can only be committed by a foreign adversary?
That makes no sense at all
Treason can only be committed by a citizen of the country it is committed against
That's the definition of treason

 No.  I am saying that one requirement according to Article III.S3.C1.4 is that a US citizen render "aid and comfort"  to "enemies".  It has been ruled, multiple times, that it cannot be indirect causal aid.

 "Enemies" is defined by the SCOTUS.  Enemies of the United States are considered to be foreign nations or entities with whom the U.S. is in an open state of war.

 The TREASON! argument posed in this thread is that Trump funded US Citizens.  This does not meet the US law criteria of "enemies" of the Nation.  It's a crime, but not TREASON!

You can still be hanged for treason. That's good enough for me. And, yes, it will be treason when they come for 47. The thing is, he didn't stop attacking the US after Jan 6. He's still doing it, just from the inside. And, no matter WHAT Scumbag Court of the US ruled, what makes you think that those are the ONLY ways you can commit treason? That ruling is NOT exclusive.

insurrection /ĭn″sə-rĕk′shən/

2. A rising against civil or political authority, or the established government; open and active opposition to the execution of law in a city or state.

Uh oh, did that definition say "enemy"?

Blah! Blah! Blah!

Nowhere in that list of felonies does it say that those are the ONLY ways to be guilty. That's why there are courts, with judges. You keep harping about the last SC "definition", which only applies to THAT trial. Just wait until there is a 13 judge Democratic controlled SC, and see if that lasts.

No way in hell was that case a President who was charged with Treason. It's never happened before, so there is NO PRECEDENT. The standards for elected officials are a good bit higher than for someone off the street; the US President MUST be held to a higher standard, though MAGATs have allowed them to dip into pig sty levels.

And, we don't need an Amendment to override the SC. All they have to do is pass the law as "not reviewable" and set new Treason standards.

Oh, and you might want to look up Roe v Wade in reference to reversing SC decisions...
