How is this not a betrayal of our country?

1. one would think so, but it would require congress to actually develop a
backbone. I wouldn't hold my breath.

2. Impeachment, yes. Treason, no.

3. Impeachment, yes. Treason? That's a tough one...
First you have to prove that the wiretapping has left our national security vulnerable.

5. Not at all...
Impeachment, almost certainly, in my opinion. But how is this treasonous? Was the personal information of American citizens sold to our country's enemies or something?
Our government spying on its own citizens isn't treason, unless the goverment people involved in it are using the information gathered to aid our enemies.

7. When will the Congress, the MSM and the people come to grips with the fact
that those who always act in a manner foreign to our Constitution and founding principles do not like our Constitution and founding principles and are emasculating same by unconstitutional means. And the idolatrous throngs still support every action and clamor for more.

8. The wire-tapping, IMHO, is an impeachable offence ...
... as for TREASON, * and his minions are guilty, but on different grounds, to whit:

Misrepresenting, exagerrating and/or fabricating the basis on which we invaded Iraq.

Sending troops to Iraq based on aforementioned, putting them in harm's way unnecessarily.

Undermining the viability of the nation's economy through tax breaks to corporations, especially those who outsource American jobs; allowing the deficit to rise to its current levels; putting the USA in debt to foreign powers (such as China).

... and that's the SHORT list!
