Here comes another one: Enemy Expatriation Act

[Jaskalas]

Yea, this legislation would never have been passed and then signed by a Republican administation.

Some of us are well aware that Republicans and Democrats are in it together. It's easy to recall the bipartisan Patriot Act.

So angry liberals that move to Canada, can be prosecuted as enemy combatants?

They do not actually ever leave, they just keep getting the rest of us excited and then break their promise.

Typical. As long as a Republican would do it too, it's OK with you that a Democrat does.

The category “support hostilities against the United States.” applies to every single criminal in the United States. It's a broad, generic, and all encompassing removal of human rights.

Fuck, it merely says 'support'. You don't have to be the one doing it, just a person associated with them in any way.

Again, do you even bother to read:

an expatriating act must be committed with the intent of relinquishing citizenship status for loss of citizenship to occur.

Please inform us how the acts of "every single criminal" in the U.S. are committed with "the intent of relinquishing citizenship status?"

Trials not required in America. I'm sure President Obama will sign this one too with great reservation. 😛

Reading is your friend:

An individual may also challenge that holding in federal district court. The burden of proof, by a preponderance of evidence, would be on the party asserting that loss of citizenship has occurred.

Do you guys even bother to read?

and

Let's see, 1986. That would have under Ronald Reagan.

So tell me again how this change is a huge threat to American citizens?

I support this bill. I also see nothing that's a threat to American citizens who aren't actively waging a war against the US.

It sounds like something that will be used later in the inevitable descent into fascism that the US will go through.
