	I believe (just an impression - I'm not too informed
about this whole situation) that what the U.S. gov't. is
trying to do is constitutional, but that Mr. Kahane's
attorney Alan Dershowitz is defending him on the grounds
that similar action wasn't taken against other Israelis who
held positions in the Knesset and higher, such as Golda
Meir.
