    Enemy Expatriation Act

    The Enemy Expatriation Act (HR 3166 and S. 1698) is a proposed law in the United States sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Scott Brown (R-MA) and Representatives Charlie Dent (R-PA) and Jason Altmire (Democratic Party-PA). The bill would allow the United States government to strip US citizens of their citizenship if they participate in terrorism, defined as "providing material support or resources to a Foreign Terrorist Organization, as designated by the secretary of state, or actively engaging in hostilities against the United States or its allies."[1] In early 2012, the proposal was compared to the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act, and some writers have suggested that the two laws could be used together to take away citizens' civil liberties.[2][3] If passed, the bill would add to the cir stances under which US citizenship can be lost

    what qualm can there be about subjecting stateless men -- erstwhile US citizens, technically -- to the terrorist justice track?

    surely the power that deprives them of their liberty and privileges as US citizens before they have ever been properly adjudicated -- so as to deny them justice -- deserves our bona fides, does it not?

    For keeping us safe...

    If the Cons ution applies exclusively to US citizens, what laws/rights govern non-US human beings?

    USA ignores international rules and regs, unless it's to their advantage.

    what else?
