The super-rich and the politicians that they bought with campaign contributions, who value privatization and profits instead of working for the common good under the long-established rules of the Constitution, are committing treason. It's not an exaggeration to say so. They are doing so in plain sight.

Dick Cheney, an admitted war criminal who went on TV to say that he was involved in approving the type of torture that he designated as waterboarding, said that the Constitition is just a piece of paper. A meaningless piece of paper.

Unless there are governmental officials who are willing to uphold the Constitution, it is exactly that.

The police and the military who will not uphold the Constitution, and will turn a blind eye while the super-rich and the politicians that they bought continue to undermine the Constitution, are enablers.
