It's the "perhaps" that's still really getting to me, as in, he would consider STRIPPING A PERSON OF THEIR US CITIZENSHIP on a lark.

@realDonaldTrump The ~actual~ Justice Scalia would tell you it's unconstitutional, Chris. Let's not sugarcoat. -
The actual Justice Scalia is unavailable at this time.

the "loss of citizenship" part is being lost in the "but it's protected by 1A" response. Scary stuff.
