Dear America. Due process is not something that doesn’t apply if you did a crime. It’s literally how we determine you did a crime. Due process is not just the ‘way’ of the justice system. It’s the ‘why’ as well. Due process means we all matter or none of us do. Act accordingly - ThreadSky

I wish your message wasn't so necessary. It makes me feel insane sometimes.

Follow the legal process...due process

Laws are for honest people. Laws follow the constitution. America is no longer a country of the constitution and its laws. We are under a dictatorship now. First time in our life, we are no longer the light the world looked to. We are the citizens of a orange pussyfooted coward wannabe terrorist

It is the practical, fundamental backbone of « innocent until proven guilty ». We are all innocent until the government has sufficiently proven that we are guilty in the eyes of a 12 member jury and a presiding judge.

You need to work this into a law school exam! Bonus points !

Yes! Lots of examples to pull right from the daily headlines!

I don’t understand while all democratic senators didn’t sign on to the condemnation of arresting and whisking away that student.
Wake up, assholes!

Cowards comfortable in their positions when they should not be

also many of them are just terrible people who do not give a shit about human beings, law, or anything but themselves. They just lied to different people to get their seat. There are like 10 decent democrats in Washington.

My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Representative deservedly got loudly booed for saying in a town hall "if you commit a crime you don't get due process."

Citizens really need a mechanism for recalling officials who assert unconstitutional BS like this.

How does this Russian asset continue with no one challenging her seat. She cheered the bombing of her own birthplace in Ukraine. That is like me cheering the Twin Towers attack I witnessed from a mile away and later worked at. Insane....

Russian ASSet for sure

And it’s damned hard to do due process if you don’t have enough judges, courtrooms, and public defenders to hear the prosecutors cases. Shoutout to Congress, ICE, and those who do not understand how immigration law works.

Let's hope the NEXT administration has the sack to put away those in THIS administration that are shutting on the rule of law! We all know what happens when you sit on your hands for 4 years and let them run amok.

Due process is the baseline for democratic and just law enforcement!

Sounds like it should be a simple concept, right? The Kings of Kaos try to make everything so complicated.

It seems the republicans do not understand the meaning

And the when, where. How. And who.
Humans are innocent until proven guilty right?

marypoconnor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you, Patrick for your perspective. It’s needed right now.

Without due process you, the government doesn't have to prove you committed a crime. They merely need assert it. Or not even that.
Without due process for all, you don't have due process for any.
The worst of the worst guilty criminals deserve due process, because *I* deserve due process.

Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? …Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!”
