Lieberman's sponsoring a bill called the TEA act (seriously), that will strip Americans of their citizenship if they're *accused* of a terroist act. Not if they're convicted; if they're accused.
What's most annoying to me about this whole citizenship-stripping idea is this: why are the courts not sufficient?! We have an existing justice system. If we start stripping people of rights *before* a trial, that is very distinctly anti-rule-of-law. It's a clear violation of the concept of due process, which to me seems inherently un-American ... See Moreand a complete renunciation of our core values.
If we're ok with the Federal Gov't stripping rights based solely on *accusation*, then what the hell is our distinction from autocratic regimes elsewhere in the world? Lieberman's inability to understand this clear conceptual contradiction is a clear sign that he's seriously too stupid and demagogue-y to keep his job.
