New and Improved Citizenship Stripping Coming to America

Is a new and improved method of stripping an American citizen of their citizenship coming to America?  It might be.  Senator Joe Lieberman, who cannot seem to decide if he’s on the right “team,” wants to put this power into the hands of Secretary of State Hillary “Der Rodham” Clinton and the U.S. Department of State.

By now you’ve heard that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is proposing a new law that could potentially strip Americans of their citizenship if they’re involved with foreign terrorist organizations.

Two things you should know about this: First, it isn’t just some paranoid liberal nightmare. It’s actually moving forward. Lieberman is going to hold a presser tomorrow to introduce the bill, I’m told, along with Rep. Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has already signaled he could support this.

Second, Lieberman’s office has clarified to me how the law would work: It would empower the State Department to conclude—on its own—that Americans are conspiring with terror groups and should be stripped of their citizenship.

The above quote was taken from a The Plum Line post titled Here’s how Joe Lieberman’s citizenship-stripping bill would work, which I was pointed to by a post at The Independent Institute titled Should Hillary Have the Power to Strip You of Your Citizenship?

How long will it be until such a travesty is amended to citizenship strip individuals who are openly critical of the State on a daily basis?
