Abstract

Charles Yorke’s book, Some Considerations on the Law of Forfei- ture, for High Treason, is 274 years old. Nevertheless, it has modern relevance. President Trump,2 prominent members of Congress (e.g., Senator Kamala Harris3), and Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his con- firmation hearing (in an exchange with Senator Lindsey Graham4) have recently discussed law related to treason.
