Let me preface this by saying that I believe those convicted of terrorism, domestic or otherwise need to be punished severely.

However, naturally acquired citizenship cannot be revoked because it is protected by the 14th amendment.

As far as disenfranchisement as the result of a felony conviction, I don't believe that natural rights can be removed by the stroke of a pen. A constitutional amendment needs to be passed that allows for the removal of certain rights as the result of a felony conviction.

I believe there are laws already in place which allow for severe penalties for terrorist crimes. Those actors need to be identified, indicted, arraigned and tried. They should suffer all that the law allows upon conviction.

The real problem as I see it is that the Department of Justice and the various state, county and local attorneys general are just not doing their jobs. This is evidence of yet more corruption. What is needed are "runaway" grand juries in these jurisdictions to call for investigations into this corruption. The ongoing election fraud that is stealing our voting franchise is probably at the top of this list along with a host of other political and financial crimes.

Felons don't lose their right to vote by the stroke of a pen. They lose their right to vote by violating the social contract in committing whatever crime they've committed.

You misconstrue my meaning. My point is that such a loss of civil rights is being done de jure when it should be by constitution. If a natural-born citizen cannot lose their citizenship, why can they be deprived of any other enumerated right?

If its being done de jure, then it is also being done by the constitution. The constitution is the foundation of all law.
