The Senate has refused to consider Sen. Ted Cruz’s bill that would strip Americans of their citizenship for joining the Islamic State (ISIS) or any other terrorist group after one Democratic member objected.
“If we do not pass this legislation, the consequence will be that Americans fighting alongside ISIS today may come home tomorrow with a U.S. passport, may come home to New York or Los Angeles or Houston or Chicago and innocent Americans may be murdered if the Senate does not act today,” the Texas Republican said on the Senate floor, The Washington Times reports.

Cruz proposed his bill earlier this month after news reports that at least 100 Americans had joined ISIS.
Democrats are moon bat crazy.
Harry Reid doesn’t want to allow any Ted Cruz, or republican for that matter, legislative accomplishments that make the dems look like the weak-kneed traitors that they are for purely partisan election reasons.
I can think of no worse government than the one we have now. The people should be out and out revolting against all of our government.
Republicans will not use this against the Dems in November. They want to lose!
Your argument makes no sense. You can't be a traitor if you lose your US citizenship. Stripping terrorists of citizenship makes it impossible to prosecute them for treason.
