In the unlikely event that this monstrosity passes they can have mine.

I agree with John Boehner:

"If they're a U.S. citizen, until they're convicted of some crime I don't know how you would attempt to take their citizenship away," Boehner said today at his weekly news conference. "It would be pretty difficult under the U.S. Constitution."

Exactly. It's fine to take away their citizenship if they actively work to attack America. Run off and join the Taliban like that John Walker, then I guess you are pretty well committing treason. But they're innocent until proven guilty, or have we totally abandoned that concept since the passage of the AZ law?

I'd say Lieberman's turn to the Dark Side is now complete. Now he should go kill his father. The Emperor will be pleased.

John Walker Lindh ran off and joined the Taliban before 9/11 and before we invaded Afghanistan. How is that treason?

Moreover, can you assure me that his actions against US and Northern Alliance forces were offensive and not defensive? He was a prisoner of the Northern Alliance who had already murdered hundreds of captured Taliban. The escape attempt and resultant battle could be viewed simply as an effort on the part of the captives to save their lives.

Okay, John Walker was a poor example. You get my point.

Yeah, I do. I just don't want us to forget what really happened with "The American Taliban". He's not the monster some people try to make him out to be.

Rotflmao!!!

I'm not convinced though, if you were a member of the nazi party during ww2 you probably didn't get much by way of Constitutional protection anyway.

Let me get this straight Pete. You agree with former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Liberman and I agree with Republican Minority leader John Boehner.

Anyone need any more proof we're living in the end times?

Why does Lieberman still have a committee chairmanship? He clearly abandoned the party in the health care debate (as if he hadn't during the campaign). It's time to dispense some discipline.
