I disagree. My take on him is that he is a traitor. He has provided aid and comfort to enemies of the United States on three occassions and possibly more.

As has been discussed elsewhere, the Logan Act (18 U.S.C. 953) is a non-starter. It was enacted in 1799. Since then, exactly two people have been charged with violating it and no one has been convicted. It is very likely unconstitutional.

Isn't that decision up to the Supreme Court? How about someone prosecuting Kerry under it and we can see if it can make it to the SC.
