Are Lieberman and co proposing stripping citizen from people who have been *convicted* of aiding terrorist groups, or those accused of it? The first is justifiable if applied equally to everyone. (It could violate the equal protection clause if it was applied to naturalised citizens but not native born.)

If people who were accused/suspected were stripped of citizenship, and the lack of citizenship then used to evade certain legal protections and allow a conviction, and the conviction used to justify the stripping of citizenship….well, that seems a little Kakfa-esque to say the least.
