Giving atomic secrets to the Reds should get you a trip to old sparky.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

IIRC, they never have actually said that the death penalty is only constitutional in murder cases, but they have ruled out its use in every other crime when they've had the opportunity.  They've never ruled on its use in the case of treason, and there's some reason to believe that they would uphold it as a punishment for treason.

Execution for treason is old school;  there's a reason why nobody executed for it anymore:  information gained is too valuable, even years later.
