    Hang them with Snowden

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I remember being 13 years old and being told that once a decision in forgiven policy was made we had to take a United stand. Wait this was in the spring of 2003 so I would have been 12. I remember that clearly Becuase I went to Bennigans with my uncle and grandfather who said they were very happy I was so young, the war would be long over before I could even think about joining.

    glad no one died and we found those nukes

    When I first read about the letter I had the same thoughts: treason! sedition! hang them all!!!
    After regaining consciousness, I realized the Senators are really doing no more than spouting elementary "civics" lessons.
    The message of just how weak and divided American politics/policy is atm is an inference that the letters authors are not really responsible for...

    On that note, have to give them credit for continuously being inventive to make themselves more powerful/annoying to the current regime.

    Extreme use of filibusting, blocking everything in congress, attempting to pass silly laws to troll, inviting foreign nations, now threatening letters too.

    I bet Democrats are secretly kicking themselves that they wish they thought of it first.

    So who initiates the Logan Act then?

    It wouldn't make sense that it is one of the houses or the executive. So does the judicial system act as a referee when the congressional/senate go up against the executive?
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Possibly the State Department, which would only push such a claim under Obama's blessing.
