As a witness, you don't have to have to say murderer... just I saw him kill her.
If you are pleaing... you don't have to say I'm a murderer -- just I killed them.
Any different???

I assume that the two witnesses could testify as to actions, but without the two witnesses, I take it to mean that Walker would have to testify not too his actions, but would have to confess to being a traitor.
Like I stated I have seen the point argued on TV between two constitutional scholars, so there would be little point to my arguing what it actually means.
I personally think that it is ambiguous, just as the second admendment is, and is open for interpretation.
