France Scraps Plans to Revise Constitution to Permit the Forfeiture of Citizenship of Terrorists
Damnit.
I'm aware this would have some serious slippery-slope consequences, but... oh well.
French President Francois Hollande said Wednesday he was scrapping his plan for constitutional reforms in the wake of the November 13 attacks on Paris, including a measure to strip convicted terrorists of their nationality.
Hollande announced in a televised statement he was "closing the constitutional debate" on the reforms after the lower house, the National Assembly, and opposition-dominated Senate failed to agree on the text.
Hollande proposed the reforms after Islamic State group suicide bombers and gunmen killed 130 people across Paris.
The right was in favor of this reform, as was Hollande's socialist government. But his actual Socialist Party strongly opposed it, because Terrorists Are Wonderful F***ing People.
