#1 unauthorized negotiations with a foreign power by a private citizen is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison under the Logan Act.

Didn't stop John Kerry with the North Vietnamese in Paris, even while still holding a commission in the Naval Reserves. If you don't enforce the laws, eventually they have no effect.

I notice that Sen. Leaky Leahy gets his feathers ruffled when he exclaims the President is not acting with proper authority, outside the law, against the Constitution. Wonder if the Senator will have a press conference to denounce interference with the Article II authority of the Constitution by his fellow Senators? Nah, no need to wait on that.

#4 Like I said in another thread arrest Kerry as soon as he lands. Let him spend his time in court and not in the senate. If the DoJ only had the balls to do so.
