Is Nancy Pelosi a traitor?

Question

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, adjourned Congress and turned off the lights and cameras (C-span) in an attempt to cease debate on drilling for oil here in the United States. Now we learn that she got in on the ground floor and invested heavily in T. Boone Pickens' alternative energy company last year. She stands to make a great deal of money if oil prices stay high.

At at time when we really need to secure our economy from being dependent on foreign nations (that really hate us) isn't it treasonous for her to be denying us that independence for personal gain?

Answer 1

Traitor? Maybe. @ssclown? Definitely.

Answer 2

No, her actions are not "treasonous".

Slimy, typical politician c**p, yeah.  She's only out for the bucks.  No surprise there.

But her actions in this instance sure don't rise to "treason".

Her failure to allow for an impeachment vote might though.  She is neglecting her duty to the Constitution to hold the Executive accountable.  It could be argued that her lack of action makes her an accomplice in the illegal actions of BushCo.

Now that would be interesting to see.
