I was pointing out the Constituion specifically defines overthrowing the government of the United States as illegal. You can not love the Constitution if you want to commit treason against it.

Does that clear up your confusion?
OK, I get it now, sorry. I feel like it would be defending the constitution though. Have you ever really read it? Washington isn't even pretending to recognize it any more. Let's say Obama is a great guy, and in 8 years everything is roses. Then we get someone elected who blatantly starts converting our government to say Fascism. After a couple years every business of any size is under government control. The government is deciding all our health care issues, and has "files" on every citizens medical info. Soldiers are starting to refuse to go into battle, denying this guys authority, and even his citizenship. The guy has legislation introduced to do away with term limits. Then, then, the guy goes down to wherever they keep the original document and shreds it to bits! He then announces that he is the supreme leader, and we are all his subjects. Would it be ok to "rise up in arms" then, or would it be treason?
