Texas Congressman Ted Poe introduced the "FTO Passport Revocation Act" to strip the passports of Americans fighting for ISIS. The hosts discuss the constitutionality of this move, noting that the Yale Law Journal previously argued there is no current legal authority to revoke passports for such reasons, including in the case of Edward Snowden.

The hosts discuss the legality of the State Department revoking Edward Snowden's passport. They cite a Yale Law Journal article arguing that a U.S. citizen has a constitutional right to a means of identification while abroad and that the government lacks the legal precedence to cancel a passport without contesting citizenship in court.
