If the Attorney General challenges Johnsons citizenship in a proceeding under the McCarran bill. then Johnson is simply denied his entire right to bring a suit for a declaratory judgment. He is not allowed to bring it within a certain time or on certain conditions. He may not sue at all. He must wait upon the Attorney General. go to jail as an alien under order of deportation. and then bring habeas corpus. So the Attorney General by signing a piece of paper can deprive Johnson of the right that every other citizen hasthe right to sue without first going to jail. He can deprive him of the right that you and I and every other citizen of the United States now has under the law.
