"Trust me" is not a basis for an imperial death sentence handed down without and due process.
Yes, for me. Citizens of the United States are granted certain constitutional rights, including the right to due process of law.
Supreme Court justice Scalia, usually one of the more conservative ones, even argued in 2004 that it was unconstitutional to even imprison a U.S. citizen accused of terrorism as an "enemy combatant" without a trial. I'm sure he'd be just as opposed to imposing a death sentence on one without a trial as well. |
Now I'm not too sure about the process, but what exactly is the process of removing someone's citizenship?
can Obama sign a form or something before hand "kicking him out" of his american citizenship?
