The Texas Republican apparently planned to create a fake “commission” to overturn the 2020 election.

    According to the United States Constitution, Article III, Section 3, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.”

    Furthermore, 18 U.S.C § 2381, states that a person guilty of treason against the United States “shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

    It’s wild to me that according to our laws so many of these “law and order” Republicans should be either executed or behind bars, yet walk free and unscathed.
