This trend of me defending people
I find reprehensible is unsettling. If I wanted to defend scumbags, I would have gone to law school. I'm writing about the petition circulating right now asking that the justice department pursue charges against the 47 Senators who wrote a letter to Iranian leadership saying that any deal reached wouldn't be upheld after President Obama leaves office. The
petition reads:
On March 9th, 2015, forty-seven United States Senators committed a
treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799
law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign
governments. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under
federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
At a time when
the United States government is attempting to reach a potential nuclear
agreement with the Iranian government, 47 Senators saw fit to instead
issue a condescending letter to the Iranian government stating that any
agreement brokered by our President would not be upheld once the
president leaves office.
This is a clear violation of federal law. In attempting to undermine our own nation, these 47 senators have committed treason.
