OK, that is true. But again, that is a new argument, that is to say you are "moving the goal posts."

My question was can someone be guilty of treason if there is no declared war. I showed that there have been convictions for treason when there was no declared war. Those are old, as you point out. So, do treason charges depend upon there being a declared war? Your answer may well be "yes" and you may well be right.

You said: "There is no nation the US has declared war on, so there is no legal 'Enemy' to aid and abet which would be considered treason."

I replied: "Really? So treason (aiding people in killing US troops) is OK if the war is illegal (undeclared)?"
