Treason Against The Constitution

There has been talk over the last couple of political cycles about what constitutes treason.  I think there are probably many actions that could constitute treason but one I would like to address is Treason Against the Constitution.   

This would define Treason Against the Constitution as any action by a lawmaker or other government employee at any level (i.e. Local, State or Federal) that attempts or does create laws, rules or regulations that are intended to get around a constitutionally protected right.  If a lawmaker votes for a law intended to get around a Constitutional right or governor or president signs such a law into existence and the Supreme Court determines that the law violates the Constitution, it would be an impeachable offense and for individuals not subject to impeachment (e.g. U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives) it would be a criminal offense punishable by a mandatory 5 Years in prison with no opportunity for parole. For non-elected government employees such as agency heads or others who promulgate regulations based on laws passed by congress, that subvert or try to get around the Constitution it would be a criminal violation with a 5 year mandatory prison term with no opportunity for parole.  

It is unconscionable for any person who has sworn to uphold or defend the Constitution to then try to find ways to get around the Constitution.  Specific examples would be attempts to get around the second amendment which prohibits the government form infringing on the pre-existing right to keep and bear arms.  Jay Inslee, Governor of Washington State would be a prime example of a politician who actively tries to subvert the Constitution.  He should be ashamed, but being a typical racist democrat he has no morals or sense of right and wrong.  he does not trust the citizens of Washington State and he does everything in his power to support and protect the criminal element in society.  We need to start holding elected officials accountable beyond just saying vote them out of office.  While that is always a solution, being an elected official should never be a license to violate the Constitution. 

This of course does not apply to any attempt to Amend the Constitution for any reason as this is the approved and accepted way to "get around" a Constitutionally protected right!
