When does dissent become treason?
The first amendment of the Bill of Rights states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” We can openly complain about our government. We can peacefully demonstrate against our government. But are there any limits to dissent? Is there a line we should not cross? Is there a point that dissent becomes un-American or even treasonous? In the last few weeks we have seen examples of un-American behavior and potentially treasonous behavior.
