Subject: Bill Would Allow Government To Strip Citizenship

New Bill Would Allow Government To Strip Citizenship Without Conviction
addictinginfo.org | January 6, 2012 | Stephen D. Foster Jr.

Full title: New Bill Known As Enemy Expatriation Act Would Allow Government
To Strip Citizenship Without Conviction

First, Congress considered the National Defense Authorization Act, sections
of which gave the President the authority to use the military to arrest and
indefinitely detain Americans without trial or charge. The language was
revised because of strong condemnation from the American people. But now a
new bill has emerged that poses yet another threat to the American
citizenry.

Congress is considering HR 3166 and S. 1698 also known as the Enemy
Expatriation Act, sponsored by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Charles Dent (R-PA).
This bill would give the US government the power to strip Americans of their
citizenship without being convicted of being "hostile" against the United
States. In other words, you can be stripped of your nationality for
"engaging in, or purposefully and materially supporting, hostilities against
the United States." Legally, the term "hostilities" means any conflict
subject to the laws of war but considering the fact that the War on Terror
is a little ambiguous and encompassing, any action could be labeled as
supporting terrorism. Since the Occupy movement began, conservatives have
been trying to paint the protesters as terrorists.

The new law would change a part of US Code 1481 which can be read in full
here. Compare 3166 to 1481 and the change is small. The new section makes no
reference to being convicted as it does in section (7). So even though the
language of the NDAA has been revised to exclude American citizens, the US
government merely has to strip Americans of their citizenship and the NDAA
will apply. And they will be able to do so without convicting the accused in
a court of law.

I hope I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like this is a loophole for
indefinitely detaining Americans. Once again, you just have to be accused of
supporting hostilities which could be defined any way the government sees
fit. Then the government can strip your citizenship and apply the indefinite
detention section of the NDAA without the benefit of a trial. This certainly
must be questioned by American citizens
