Brown
To Co-Sponsor Terror Bill That
Strips
Citizenship
Senator Scott Brown
tomorrow
is signing on to legislation that
would
strip naturalized Americans of their
citizenship if they are found to
have aided
a foreign terrorist organization.
Brown is joining three other
lawmakers in
filing the legislation, which comes
after
Faisal Shehzad was accused of a plot
to
detonate a car bomb in Times Square
on
Saturday. Because the Pakistani-born
Shehzad
is a naturalized American citizen,
he was
read his Miranda rights and will be
tried in
a civilian court, rather than before
a
military tribunal.
The legislation is
likely to
trigger debate over what rights
American
citizens should be afforded if they
are
involved in acts of terrorism.
Senator John
McCain has called it a mistake to
have read
Shehzad his Miranda rights, while
Fox News
commentator Glenn Beck said, "He has
all the rights under the
Constitution. We
don’t shred the Constitution when
it’s
popular.”
The others
sponsoring the
bill are Senator Joseph Lieberman, a
Connecticut Independent;
Representative
Jason Altmire, a Democrat of
Pennsylvania;
and Representative Charlie Dent, a
Republican of Pennsylvania.
The four will hold a
press
conference tomorrow to announce the
legislation, called the Terrorist
Expatriation Act.
