provision of the denaturalization statute…violates the First
Amendment’s protection of expressive association and the
equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment’s
Due Process Clause. Additionally, § 1451(c) over-penalizes
innocent conduct, and therefore bears a striking
resemblance to criminal laws that overcriminalize
harmless conduct.”).
