The city has given them a permit to demonstrate there. Like I say, what they are doing is despicable but not treason.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

By federal law, blocking the entrance to any recruiting station is a violation of that law, and considered treason. And Code Pink is on video blocking the entrance to the station, impeding business. That, by the wording of 18 USC IS treason

Senators Introduce Semper Fi Act of 2008
Bill Stops Berkeley Earmarks and Transfers Funds to Marine Corps
Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senators James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Jim
DeMint (R-South Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), Tom Coburn, M.D.
(R-Oklahoma), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and David Vitter (R-Louisiana)
introduced the Semper Fi Act of 2008. The bill would rescind over $2 million
in hidden earmarks for Berkeley , California in the 2008 Omnibus
Appropriations bill, and transfer the funds to the Marine Corps. U.S.
Congressman John Campbell (R-California) is introducing a companion bill in
the House of Representatives.
Last week, the City Council of Berkeley voted to oust Marine Corps
recruiters from their downtown office, saying the Marines were "uninvited
and unwelcome intruders." Berkeley officials also voted to give the radical
protest group Code Pink space outside the recruitment office and urged them
to "impede, passively or actively" the work of Marine Corps recruiters.
One earmark provides $243,000 in taxpayer dollars for the organization Chez
Panisse to
create gourmet organic school lunches in the Berkeley School District Chez
Panisse is dedicated to "environmental harmony" and their menu features
"Comté cheese soufflé with mâche salad," "Meyer lemon éclairs with
huckleberry coulis," and "Chicory salad with creamy anchovy vinaigrette and
olive toast."
Another earmark would spend $975,000 in taxpayer dollars for the University
of California in Berkeley Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service, to
create a new endowment and cataloging the papers of Congressman Robert
Matsui. U.C. Berkeley currently already has a $3.5 billion endowment.
Senator Inhofe: "Unfortunately, those on the Berkeley city council do not
seem to understand the sacrifice of the brave men and women of the United
States Marine Corps. By interfering with military recruiting, the city of
Berkeley is hampering our ability to protect this nation. While the city of
Berkeley and the protestors are free to say whatever they like, free speech
is not a protection from consequence."
Senator DeMint: " Berkeley needs to learn that their actions have
consequences. Patriotic American taxpayers won't sit quietly while Berkeley
insults our brave Marines and tries to run them out of town. Berkeley City
Council members have shown complete ingratitude to our military and their
families, and the city doesn't deserve a single dime of special pet project
handouts."
Senator Cornyn: "The Berkeley City Council insulted our troops and offended
people across the country. If the U.S. Marines are not good enough for
Berkeley , neither are taxpayer dollars Congress would have sent there this
year. That city closed its doors on the same individuals taking bullets on
the front lines while fighting for the safety and freedom of families in
Berkeley and throughout America ."
Senator Vitter: "The actions of the City Council of Berkeley are in stark
contrast to beliefs of the vast majority of Americans who recognize and
honor the service and sacrifice of our U.S. Marines. This is simply
unacceptable and those funds could be better utilized by the Marine Corps."
Dr. Coburn: "The actions by the city of Berkeley are deplorable and
insulting to those who are serving and those who have paid the ultimate
sacrifice to protect the very freedoms that are being exercised to insult
them. I know I stand with the majority of Americans in thanking our service
men and women for their selfless service to our nation."
Senator Chambliss: "We need to send a strong message that our military
personnel deserve our strongest support. Georgia is a proud military state,
and my constituents will be out outraged to know that during a time of war,
their taxpayers dollars have been used to reward folks who have insulted and
disparaged those who defend this nation every day."
