Did Erick Erickson Call Sucession Petition Signers Traitors?
(The New American) Not everyone thinks these people are simply exercising their
right of expression, however. There are many — even some conservatives — who
consider the act of calling for secession an act of treason.
| "We here at RedState are American citizens. We have no plans to secede from the union," wrote RedState founder Erick Erickson. "If you do, good luck with that, but this is not the place for you." |

In response to previous articles written by this reporter,
readers have argued that to call for secession is an act of treason and should
any elected official propose such a measure, he should be tried for treason and
summarily removed from office.

Secession is "treason" in a strict sense, but since we have a government & POTUS that no longer follows the Constitution - just as we argue That King George was not following Law, either - then we have the right to redress our grievances just as then. This is internal not external, but the same premise Lex Rex/Rex Lex. Either nullification or secession are drastic, but since a majority of STATES voted not-Obama, then this may be an only way to extricate ourselves from the catastrophy coming to our nation. I'm not a constitutional scholar but as a red-blooded American who has seen the down-slide of our nation for the last 60 years I'm ready to see extreme remedies come. The "Republican" national leadership is a joke, the bunch of wooses in the Senate & even several of the congress that supposedly promise to stand Constitutionally firm... It may be easier to be extremest to the point of nullification/secession than to get a 3rd party recognized or reform the Republican party....
