US Code 18, Chapter 115 is very clear.
---
Section 2381. Treason
Whoever,
owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or
adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United
States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and 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.

Section 2384. Seditious conspiracy
If
two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put
down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to
levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or
by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the
United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of
the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or
both.

Please note that this long-standing law places limits on the freedom of speech. The Bill of Rights is not a "suicide pact".
Senators
(i.e., Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, Durbin, McCain, etc.), Congressmen (i.e.,
Kucinich, Murtha, etc.), College Professors (i.e., Ward Churchill,
Cornell West, etc.), Film-makers (i.e., Spielberg, Moore, etc.) and
others have been allowed to aid and comfort our enemies in Iran, Iraq,
Syria, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and elsewhere with impunity,
resulting in the deaths of additional US and Coalition soldiers,
sailors, airmen, marines, and civilians.
Being that there are so
many sharing al Qaeda's talking points, it is readily apparent that
even the jury that acquitted OJ Simpson could see through this one.
There IS a Seditious Conspiracy. And it has two fronts: GWoT and
Immigration.
We are losing the GW0T because our President
failed to use 9/11 to put the country on a "War Footing" and mobilize
the great industrial strength of the USA. He and his advisers decided
to use half-assed methods to solve the problem--with the result that
the ADD children of the 60s and 70s got bored and changed the channel
to something else. And the Leftwits in the media gladly served up drunken Paris, ants-less Britney, foul-mouthed Rosie, and so much more.
We are losing on the Immigration front
because no administration has obeyed their oath of office and actually
enforced existing laws. I don't know if it's because they are getting money from businessmen who want slave, non-union labor in their fields, factories, and kitchens. I don't know if it's because foreign powers are paying someone. I don't know if it's designed to secretly prop up the corruption-prone Mexican Government. I don't know if the idiotic reasons the President says are what he really believes, in some sort of unappealing and inappropriate naivete.
I just know that granting these felons amnesty before we shut the door to other illegals is a guarantee of 100 million more before we're done. And it's a slap in the face to everyone who followed the laws concerning Immigration, Social Security, Federal Income Tax, and Document Fraud.
We didn't press them because, like the
frog in a slowly heated pan, we enjoyed the warm bath--now that we're
almost cooked, we realize (too late?) that we elected leaders who were
beholden to foreigners or others who don't have the same values,
morals, and goals.
Still, if the House and Senate vote on it,
and the President signs it, it will still become law--and with the
courts prosecuting, convicting, and imprisoning Border Patrol agents
who tried to do their job, we know what any appeal will get us...
Serves us right for believing "Republican" meant "Conservative", "Moral", or "Loves America"...
Serves me right for believing any politician's pre-election lies...
