Here we go -- you knew it was coming, right?
Fox News this morning is arguing that a foundational element and distinguishing feature of democracy, due process -- that no person can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, guaranteeing fair procedures and fundamental rights -- is too impractical to keep.
BRIAN KILMEADE: “It's not practical to think that we can do due process on 8 million people.”
JONES: “No.”
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: “That's right.”
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.

And they know this. Absolutely, they do.
Which is why FOX is floating this as a trial balloon.
Eliminating due process would be the final nail in democracy’s coffin.
Random immigrants picked up on the street today.
You and me tomorrow.
First, they came for….
And then, no longer constrained by due process, they came for anyone they wanted and disappeared them.

Lest you think this is not a trial ballon for Trump, just remember the symbiotic relationship between Trump and FOX…. And how many FOX personalities are now in the Trump administration.

FOX and GOP will drop him the second they feel he can't raise money and he's a political liability.
Since Club 401K has never offered true support for GOP'ers who might have wanted to break away, that day hasn't arrived yet.
But, it will.
Give it time. It won't be now - because of - you.
But it'll come.
