Judges Mark A. Ciavarella Jr. and Michael T. Conahan should be lega

The cases of Pennsylvania judges Mark A. Ciavarella, Jr. and Michael T. Conahan are an example of one of the only situations where I believe our States have a right to put someone to death based solely on Constitutional powers of government: treason. Treason is the act where a person violates their oath of loyalty to their nation or sovereign group (such as a state). Since common citizens do not take an oath of loyalty (and should never!), the only ones who should be charged with treason are our so-called public servants, especially judges and federal politicians.

Ciavarella and Conahan are charged with taking kick-backs from a private juvenile jail facility. Both judges found 5000 youths guilty of minor crimes, and enslaved them in the junvenile facility as punishment. Even after the $2.6 million in kickbacks were discovered, there are still teenagers in these facilities. The State average for juvenile detention (enslavement in a jail) is about 10%. Under these judges, 25% of teens brought up for minor offenses were jailed, in exchange for the kickbacks.

I won’t go into my disagreement with the idea of state-funded penatentiaries. State-corporate ventures are always a negative situation in my opinion. I do want to move forward with my full support of the death penalty for these two justices (ex-justices?) based solely on their violation of their oath to support the Constitutions of their states.

The Pennsylvania oath of office states:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity.”

Since they did not discharge the duties of their offices with fidelity, and since they did not uphold the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, they should be charged with high treason. As the common judgment for high treason is the death penalty, I see no other alternative for punishment but hanging, lethal injection, or preferably a firing squad. This will teach our public servants that they must take their oath seriously.

I’m always in favor of using the laws against the law-makers and law-enforcers. In this case, we MUST, as citizens of sovereign States and Commonwealths, push for full judgment against those who judge us unfairly or criminally.

If you are a citizen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I urge you to contact your public servants and push forward for a trial of treason, with the full punishment as set forth by Pennsylvanian law.
