, 10 years ago→Who's responsible for the Maquis?
Line 77:
** Holy Patriot Act, Batman. Fed citizens have inalienable rights, but any policeman, even a foreign policeman can cancel your citizenship and rights on '''suspicion???'''
** Odo also has a bit of a history of Orwellian beliefs so i'm not surprised he acts that way.
** The Maquis have de facto renounced their Federation citizenship, basically saying "We are not going to recognize your laws, your authority, or your needs"... but still perfectly willing to get the Federation involved in things because of them, natch. They might not have signed papers specifically relinquishing their Federation membership, but under common law they're likely stateless until they decide to surrender themselves to Federation authority. Odo could be saying that by helping the Maquis, Kasidy ''is'' Maquis, and thus ''declaring herself'' not a Federation citizen. Also, probably best not to take what Odo says too literally.
