If they are a U.S. citizen, you have to treat them like a U.S. citizen. If you could PROVE that citizenship was not valid, then things change, but the government has to prove these things.

Not true.

Ex parte Quirin, 1942

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev committed a traitorous act of terror in support of a foreign power with whom we are currently at war (Islamic terrorism).

As such, he sacrificed his American citizenship, ipso facto and is without its protective cloak -- as of the moment those bombs were triggered.

Sen. Graham, the little pipsqueak, is 100% correct in his assertion that Tsarnaev can (should) be tried by a military tribunal as an "illegal combatant".

It's not a question of whether we like the opinion or not. Or that we trust Obama or Holder to make that judgment. It's a matter of settled law.

The situation does serve to emphasize the point that we should always elect trustworthy people to hiigh office, however.

Argument fails because there is no War.

Congress has not declared War for 60 years.

Authorization to use military force does not constitute a declaration of war as per the US constitution.

Lol. "Islamic terrorism" is not a nation. According to you, President Obama could declare was on conservatives, and all Freepers would automatically lose their U.S. citizenship. The Facts in Quirin were far different than what happened here, and I'm not even sure that was decided right. You have to stop listening to your left wing professors and pull your head out of the ground. I don't care how much you, Obama, Bush, Roosevelt, Karl Marx, and all your buddies hate the Constitution. I'm not buying it.
