Sen. Mazie Hirono, a Hawaii Democrat, stood to object when Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz asked for 'unanimous consent' to pass his bill quickly
The measure would have terminated the citizenship of any American who joins or assists a terror group that's likely to attack US interests
Hirono insisted that the bill raised constitutional questions and cited complaints from the American Civil Liberties Union
Secretary of State John Kerry told Congress that 'foreign fighters' who help ISIS should return 'in handcuffs -- not through customs with their passport'
Kerry said he has authority to cancel passports; the FBI director said it's sometimes useful to let terrorists back into the country and watch them

Of course there'll be the occasional workplace violence and a marathon bombing or two...

Which is another way of saying, most of the time it's not useful. Wring every last ounce of information from them, then throw them into a cell with Chelsea Manning.

Hirono said she chose to throw up a road block because 'legislation that grants the government the ability to strip citizenship from Americans is a serious matter raising significant constitutional issues.'
Bullshi* She got the 'short straw' from the Dem power structure. No way in hell any of her constituents are about to object to her actions or switch parties.

"If we let them back in to the country, we can play all kinds of cool spy games, like trying to follow them, or developing them as intelligence assets and spy stuff and stuff. Of course, mistakes are sometimes made and things like work-place violence and the odd marathon bombing happen, but that's not our fault because of REASONS!"
-- sincerely, your FBI

Since the IS has had the grace to declare itself a sovereign nation dedicated to the destruction of the United States, is there any reason not to simply treat repatriated IS fighters the way the Nazi infiltrators & would-be saboteurs were treated in 1942? You, know execution for most & prolonged imprisonment for those who betrayed the mission & turned states' evidence? I'm feeling SO un-PC this morning, must be the coffee....

Maybe Sen. Mazie Hirono is afraid that Champ's passport might be seized when he is abroad and he can't return to the U.S. to continue his harm? Hmmmmnn. O.K. it was just a fanciful thought this Friday a.m.
Hawaii is like the 41 year old jobless son who lives in your basement. No one should be concerned about them attempting any sort of Hawaiian nationalism [Scottish secessionist] movement. Noises, bitc*ing and moaning yes, pull away..... never fok'n happen.

Let them back in with handcuffs, follow them around? Like letting burning tumbleweeds through your fireline and smugging, "They will burn out soon." as the jihadis go about their recruiting and inspiring. No letter of marque? Foreign operative, no entry.

Exactly, AlanC. The "Patriot" Act comes to mind. The potential for abuse is astounding. Who gives a shit about Constitutional protections when the .gov can strip anyone it deems a terrorist of citizenship. Any dissent will become terrorism. Oh wait, this regime already labels dissent as domestic terrorism. Besides, doesn't fighting under a foreign flag already revoke citizenship?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
