Hoda Muthana

Posted by AlM on Sat Feb 23 21:49:12 2019

I strongly object to the United States revoking her citizenship. If they can revoke her citizenship, they can revoke mine.

On the other hand, I have no problem with her being put on trial for terrorism, and sentenced to life imprisonment if convicted.

I agree. There's a constitutional amendment that states she's a citizen. She was born here. We should not screw with that.

That being said, she should be tried and serve an appropriate sentence as detemined by the court.

Let the courts decide that then. There is no way I would want them to revoke my citizenship in support of a person that committed essentially treasonous acts.
You dont have my support miss.

She is born in the US. No one born in the US should ever be allowed to have their citizenship revoked, no matter what crimes they committed. Prison is the answer for crimes.

Ok fine but you'd reject your citizenship for someone 40 something years younger than you that was prepared to commit heinous crimes against you and your family friends and fellow Americans?

You have drastically misunderstood. I'm not volunteering to give up my citizenship. I am opposing a government power that would allow my citizenship to be taken away as well.

If they can revoke her citizenship, they can revoke mine.

My citizenship is based on the same grounds as hers (and, for example, Kamala Harris's). I am an American-born child of non-Americans. My mother wasn't a resident of the US at the time of my birth.

So either Al didn’t know the facts associated with her birth or he was also born under diplomatic immunity. Can’t wait to hear which it is since he’s worried about his citizenship being revoked.

He believed that BS from months back about "Trump revoking US citizenship for people born in the USA", which actually referred to the so-called "birthright citizenship" that isn't in the Constitution. Another fake news story.

Ah, the last time I read about it, it was supposedly established that her father no longer had diplomatic immunity on the date of her birth.

If I am wrong about that, my whole post is inapplicable. I have no objection to the children of diplomats, born in the US, being excluded from citizenship.

You really want to make Luch look like a genius by comparison to you? You must believe renunciation does not exist.

You're making Luch look like Einstein. Not treason and then executed? Of course, Article 3 Section 3 of the US Constitution would never come to your mind, would it ("levying war against" the US, as ISIS does, "or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort", as Muthana blatantly did).

As long as the government argument rests on its claiming that her father had diplomatic immunity when she was born, I support that. Let the court figure out the facts. There's no issue of law that could set a troublesome precedent.

Which makes her a citizen. Had her father been a diplomat when she was born,no she wouldn't be. His commission had expired a month before.

Birthright citizenship was established by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The US also has the doctrine of citizenship "of the soil", which extends to babies born on airplanes flying over US airspace, and on ships sailing on waters within 12 nm of a US coastline.

You really should read up on things before you post obvious falsehoods.

Heh. I'm proposing the possibility of life imprisonment. The Trump Administration is proposing letting her off the hook almost completely. No punishment other than a permanent ban from entering the US.

Ok, but the fact that she may not have a legitimate claim to citizenship came out within 24 hours after Trump's tweet that he's not letting her back. So either you missed articles that came out immediately afterwards or you read sources that were less comprehensive, less objective, or both.

JayZ links to an article suggesting that the US position will be based only on the alleged fact that her father was still a diplomat at the time of her birth. As long as they keep it fact-based and don't claim a new legal principle there's probably no risk here.

But if not, then it must be fought.

There’s a problem here, though. She claims that her father no longer had diplomatic immunity at the time of her birth, while the Administration claims he did. I DO NOT believe the Administration. If they can come up with a loophole to deny her citizenship, they’ll come up with loopholes for others.

The letter that her father provided showing that he was no longer a diplomat when she was born was years after the fact. That could seem odd, but he says that no one had ever questioned her birthright citizenship until that time. And even then the argument could be made that he was still technically a diplomat even if that letter was real. My guess is that it would be an argument that would be more palatable had she not already become a terrorist advocating for terrorist insurrection inside the US.

But it's an argument of fact, not law. If the lower court finds the facts to be that her father really was a diplomat at the time, there's nothing that could possibly make it to a higher court. Except maybe some really arcane issue as to what constitutes a diplomat.

No one could ever make the argument that your parents, or mine, or Kamala Harris's, or those of millions of others in the same position, were diplomats not subject to US law.

Yes, and that must be fought vigorously. If Pompeo says something like "well, even if he wasn't a diplomat, she's still not a citizen ...," it's time for the ACLU to get into full defensive mode.

It’s not as simple as you make out. Did you read the link that JayZee posted? Even if his tenure had ended - which would be a fact - diplomats still have limited immunity to give them time to pack up and move out. It’s up to legal interpretation as to when he stopped being a diplomat.
