John Demjanjuk Fights For Citizenship

The 6th United States Court of Appeals in Cincinnati is reviewing the decision of District Court Judge Paul Matia to take away citizenship from John Demjanjuk. If the ruling is upheld, Demjanjuk may be deported. Since 1977, Demjanjuk has been fighting charges that he was a Nazi concentration camp guard during WWII.

Since this and related cases have been going on for so long and the fact that he is now 83-years-old, the latest court proceedings seem counterproductive. If the ruling is overturned, Demjanjuk continues to live out his days in Ohio. If the ruling stands, Demjanjuk is no longer a citizen and thus qualifies for protection under the stealth federal policy of ignoring illegal aliens.

My take is that payments to the lawyers should stop.
