I continue to be amazed that people don’t understand the purpose for due process. Yes, it’s purpose is to require the state to prove a charge against a person (and it must be a person because the state can and does make charges against all persons and not just citizens) but even more important than that is that it is fundamentally how liberty exists. Without due process there is no liberty, no freedom in the United States and it is for liberty that the Revolutionary War was fought and the United States exists. Remember give me liberty or give me death?
