Sure, it’s not the same thing, but there is no reason why the analysis should not work for both parts of the sentence.

There's a very good reason why the "analysis" should not work for "both parts of the sentence." You're discussing two completely disparate issues and confusing them for one.

I appreciate your effort, but I don't think you have anything here yet. It would interesting to look for judgements shedding light on a more precise constitutional definition of person, but until you come up with something good in that regard, and unmuddle your understanding of due process, you won't get anywhere.
