Bush accuses his opponents of treason. What's next, locking up the Congress?

Bush Accuses Majority of Americans of Treason

Reason

"President Bush warned Democratic critics of his Iraq policy on Tuesday to watch what they say or risk giving "comfort to our adversaries" and suffering at the ballot box in November."

Treason is the only crime defined explicitly in the U.S. Constitution (a document Bush refers to as "just  a piece of paper").  According to Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

Since George Bush fancies himself King of the United States, believing himself above the law and vested with the power to declare anyone an "enemy combatant" at his whim, we should view this declaration by George Bush as a grave threat upon anyone in opposition to his foolish and illegal war.  Moreover, since Bush clearly believes that anyone adhering to his enemies (read "Muslims") should be watched by the N.S.A. (and their can be no doubt that Bush believes that "Comforting" the enemy is an act of adhering to them), we must conclude that all Democrats and anyone to the left of the Democrats are under illegal surveillance by the N.S.A.

Can there be any doubt that when the Democrats take over the House and Senate in the next elections, that Bush will dissolve the Congress?
