Joe Leiberman read the Constitution very carefully before he proposed this.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) thinks he's found a work-around on the whole Miranda rights debate for U.S. citizens accused of terrorism: Strip their citizenship and ship them to Guantanamo.

Lieberman plans to introduce a bill that would amend a decades-old law aimed at yanking citizenship from U.S. citizens who fight for a foreign military.

Don't we read immigrants (of any variety) their Mirandas? I'm pretty sure we do.

We do yeah.  There's also the bit that you have the rights regardless of if you get read them (which is why cops like to question suspects without arresting them if possible, no need to read them the rights, and not everybody knows them).

[Juana]

Then this, plus the various rulings by the Supreme Court on the issue of suspects in Gitmo, should make it illegal. That doesn't mean it isn't going to happen anyway, but still.

I'm laughing until blood drips from my ears.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

Wow.

Liberman is one of America's greatest shitbags. How is he still in in the senate?

[LMNO]

Because we get what we deserve.

[Doktor Howl]

This is only what the American public has been demanding.

I sort of long for the day when it's used for even funnier purposes.

Dear other states that aren't CT,

As a resident of Connecticut, I'd like to apologize for:

a) George W Bush. (The fake, hilarity inducing Texan & former president)

b) Senator Christopher Dodd - for his legislation that ended up protecting AIG pay bonuses after the economy went splodey in 2008.

c) NYC car bomber guy. Though, there's probably not a lot of difference between parts of Bridgeport and a terrorist training camp in Pakistan.

d) Crazy chimpanzees that rip your face & hands off.

e) Sen Joseph Leiberman - Treacherous douchebag.

f) The Jerry Springer Show - now filmed in CT because it's cheaper.

g) Cainad. (kidding)

For these and other crimes this state has committed against the US, I apologize.

I just don't get Joe.  What the hell is going through that man's head?

It shouldn't matter what their citizenship is. The Bill of Rights doesn't say "US citizens", it says "people".

Someone has to eventually. It's either you guys or Hawaii.

And where's the so-called ALL RIGHTS UNLIMITED TO BE PROTECTED Tea-Party on this?

Oh yeah, cheering.
