I don't see how the fourteenth amendment would have anything to do with Lindh's prosecution. He was not in any of the states or territories of the US when he was caught. The crimes for which is being prosecuted all occurred outside of the US.

Amendment XIV

I don't really see how they could prosecute him for firearms violations either since he wasn't on US soil. Treason, sedition and conspiracy all sound like reasonable charges to bring against him, but firearms violations sound like BS to me.

It would also seem to me that if you can be prosecuted under US law you are also entitled to the protections of our constitution. You can't have one without the other.
