Commit treason, plead to a misdemeanor, what a fucking mockery.
Now here's where you're wrong, it is not actually possible to commit treason against the U.S. government:
The United States was founded by a group of men (human males), and at the time, in an act of violent rebellion.
The Declaration of Independence was written by a group of men.
The Constitution was written by a group of men (this implies that it can also be abolished by a group of men).
There is no consistent, permanent principle, that exists between incarnations of the staff of the U.S. government, meaning anyone employed at state or federal level, in a judicial, executive, or legislative capacity.
If everyone from the U.S. government were immediately fired at this very moment, there would be no U.S. government.
The U.S. government and the U.S. are a democracy, and so there is "no government," no centralized principle or idea that unites this regime beyond the people who inhabit this country at the current moment.
Debates over immigration make this even fuzzier; as immigrants have much political clout, despite not being "citizens." This is par for the course in a democracy, which, when paired with postmodernism, essentially imply that everyone's truth is valid. If everyone's truth is valid, this is basically incompatible with the notion of governance, which implies that there is some objective truth that is super-valid over other, lesser truths.
If 51% of people engaged in rebellion against the U.S. government, it would not actually be rebellion, but a peaceful transition to a different form of government; this is because the U.S. government does not exist apart from the people who inhabit the U.S., and is in fact identical to its inhabitants. In other words, it would simply be people voting with their actions.
The government consists of a group of employees who can be fired from their job, and the "thing" that hires and fires them also consists of other employees, and this "thing" is inherently fractured, ununified, it consists of a series of arbitrary human principles, created by a group of men, which are voluntarily held as sacrosanct.
The core theme of the Constitution, DoI, and the Amendments is one of liberty and freedom, which ironically holds the seeds of its own self-destruction, as freedom as an absolute principle, is self-negating. Absolute freedom cannot exist (because freedom implies freedom from everything), freedom is relativity (but not as an absolute principle... which cannot exist), therefore when freedom poses as an absolute principle, it becomes another source of tyranny. (This is actually visible today in the modern world in many different forms.)
In summary:
The U.S. government was founded by a group of human males in an illegal act of rebellion, and they considered this act of rebellion to be a moral duty or imperative. These men inlaid this principle of responsibility of rebellion in the current form of government. Their notion of government was that human beings could choose how to live, collectively, however they see fit, as befits their happiness and desire. The notion that this kind of government could ever bar anyone from doing anything, is actually contradictory.
Actually if you think about it, we, as human beings, can live exactly as we want to, collectively, and there is no visible higher-power that prevents us from doing so. This means that any experience of suffering on this Earth is actually kind of voluntary, and not necessarily to be taken for granted.
There is no consistent principle through and between different incarnations of the government, as the government is a democracy, and simply consists of the people who hire and fire the different public servants, and suggest new laws or abolish old ones.
The notion that the Constitution can be absolute, while the people at the same time being free, is a contradiction. If we are truly free, we can choose not to follow the Constitution. If we are not truly free and the Constitution is absolute, it must be rewritten and made better... which is just a variation of the former statement.
Philosophically, the U.S. government doesn't even exist! There is no core, eternal, permanent, unified, and visible principle that exists across its incarnations, and its genesis cannot even be discerned! Emptiness, emptiness, oṃ, oṃ, oṃ. May all beings be at peace and ease.
Anyways, please let me know what you think. If it is impossible to discern an actual U.S. government, then I think this has practical implications which are not pretty. A true government would have to be absolute, or not at all (another form of absoluteness). A true government, IMO, is a non-human monarchy, i.e. a world that is governed by God (the Absolute Principle).
