Without due process, there is no law.

Those that wield power will define the law the way they want. If they wish to pick you up on the street and send you to a concentration camp in Sudan, then there is not much you can do when you do not have due process to question your imprisonment. You are at the mercy of those in power. If we had a benevolent dictator, there would be less alarm, perhaps? But we have a malevolent, narcissistic dictator with cruel intentions. Without due process, all Americans are in jeopardy.

It’s on steroids these days.

To think Republicans would ever try to pass legislation that will take food off the plates of hungry children because billionaires don’t have enough money. They have no conscience.

from the streets, from their homes, from schools and courthouses.

No warrants, no hearings, no charges filed, no judicial review.

This is the kind of shit Mad King George pulled that caused a revolution.

I never thought I would see this in America, and I sure the hell never thought that people would complacently go along with it.

Without humanity, there is no morality nor ethics.

So, it's about time we get humans on the SCOTUS and change it to HSCOTUS

Humane Supreme Court of the United States
