I've often thought of one of the worst-case scenarios for the US being the full corporate/fascist takeover complete with internment camps and all. I know that the politically liberal are the biggest real threat to the establishment while the wingnuts will line up to put their fellow Americans in camps with a 'boo-yah!'.

I long ago imagined the egress of many 'enemies of the state' to far-flung lands where they would continue their work of enlightening those still at home and, failing that, keeping an accurate account of history.

A bill like this would make legal the apprehension and indefinite detention of such expatriated US citizens.
