STATE would conclude -- on its own -- that you are conspiring with "terror groups" & should be stripped of your US citizenship....

Please convince me that Lieberman & Schumer are not targeting Arab Americans! OK, the bit about serving in a foreign army would cost many Zionist colonials their citizenship, if STATE should decide that "on its own"...
WaPo/ here

".... a new law that could potentially strip Americans of their citizenship if they're involved with foreign terrorist organizations...... it isn't just some paranoid liberal nightmare. It's actually moving forward. Lieberman is going to hold a presser tomorrow to introduce the bill, I'm told, along with Rep.Jason Altmire of Pennsylvania. Sen. Schumer has already signaled he could support this.
Second, Lieberman's office has clarified to me how the law would work: It would empower the State Department to conclude -- on its own -- that Americans are conspiring with terror groups and should be stripped of their citizenship.
Lieberman's law would amend an earlier statute that details other things that can cost you citizenship: Serving in the army of a foreign state, pledging allegiance to a foreign state, and so on. In those cases the State Department decides whether your disloyalty merits loss of citizen status. Lieberman's law would add involvement with a foreign terror organization -- as opposed to a foreign state -- to this list.

Who would determine whether you're involved with a foreign terror group? The State Department. It already decides what is and isn't designated as a terror organization. Lieberman's law would also empower State to determine whether you are in league with one of these groups. (Whatever that means...)
... Lieberman is introducing this tomorrow. So at a minimum there could be a national debate about it. My bet is more Dems than you might think will be afraid to oppose this."
