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. The
way these defense obsessed Republicans think, our rights are always in
danger of being taken away...
