I seem to recall that “enemies” is mentioned in the Constitution as “enemies foreign and domestic”.
I find myself wondering for that reason if the individuals who stole classified data during the attempted coup can be charged with espionage, too. Certainly, if domestic ISIS members had done this such charges would occur if at all possible, as well they should.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Instead of being padded, it should be of stainless steel (easier to hose down after he’s out of there) and with many sharp projections…

Like a serial killer, I don’t want to know his/her name; just the victims; so I can hope/pray for comfort for their families.
