Senate bill to strip citizenship/Traitors

[Horn6721]

A bill has been introduced by Pubs and Dems that would strip US citizenship from traitors.Actually it just adds to an existing law
from link
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is co-sponsoring a bill that would strip terrorists of their American citizenship if they are found guilty of conspiring against America after two accused homegrown terrorists were arrested in the Bay State.
and
"The bipartisan bill, dubbed the “Enemy Expatriation Act,” is co-sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Reps. Jason Altamira (D-Pa.) and Charlie Dent (R-Pa.). It would tweak an existing federal law that details how a U.S. citizen can lose his citizenship to include “a person who engages in hostilities or purposefully and materially supports hostilities against the United States.”The Link

It doesn't explain who decides if someone is a traitor. That is probably in the existing federal law.

How stupid. Just where would you deport them to, who would take them in? Worthless bill

What constitutes hostility against the United States? Drawing a mustache on Obama's picture?

What difference would that make? We already allow millions of illegal aliens to live and work here. We give full rights to terrorists before and during trials. All this would change is that as an ex-patriot, you would have to find a job an American isn't willing to do and get an evil corporation to pay you under the table. Then you can avoid paying income taxes. . . hey, maybe there's something to this new bill!

Who is going to define who is a "true American"?

The right-wing evangelicos?
