Those things are supposed to be determined by the courts, of course. My
point was simply to show that, assuming the Communist Party could be shown
to be an enemy of the US (proving they were trying to start a revolution
here would be a good start :), then there is Constitutional Law that could
make joining and supporting the Communist Party an act of treason. And
that's true. :-)
