Have at it cultists: tell us how actual innocence doesn't matter and how due process is supposed to be “practical” (it's not; it's supposed to protect people from unjust prosecutions and detentions).
Plus, it's not even true. Every year, about 10 million people are arrested in the U.S. - and we manage to give them due process. That's not even counting the many other millions of non-criminal administrative processes (like deportation hearings, public worker disciplinary/benefits hearings, code enforcement and other municipal/state hearings) and civil proceedings that we provide due process for.
Giving people a right to contest the allegations being levied against them when the government is prosecuting or detaining them is not impractical, and it's literally the floor of rights that are granted under the Constitution.
