They Have Not Thought This Through.

Lieberman's Citizenship-Revoking Law Slammed As 'Draconian'
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) has yet to formally introduce legislation that would strip Americans involved in terrorism of their citizenship and already legal experts, including a former Bush administration official, are calling it "draconian."

The Connecticut Independent is planning to unveil on Thursday a proposal that will supposedly free up law enforcement in their efforts to try terrorist suspects, by giving the State Department the right to revoke the citizenship of those suspects who are American.

Let me get this straight. Holy Joe and his buddies in Greater Wingnuttistan want to give Hillary Clinton the right to revoke people's citizenship, without a hearing and with the stroke of a pen, to make it easier for the Evil Obama's Tyrannical Government to lock them up.

We are truly through the looking glass, y'all.

You wouldn't believe it if I wrote it in a book . . .

There usta was a saying that the difference between Democrats and Republicans lay in *which* rights each thought that citizens could live without. Guess we have to add Independents to that.

When do we get the spiffy brown uniforms to go with all this?

Every time I see Holy Joe's scrotal visage on my teevee, I want to toss a brick through the screen.
