Democrats Need To Be Held To Account For Denying Trump’s Due Process Rights.
American Thinker ^ | 26 Apr, 2024 | Wolf Howling

Due process of law, or at least its absence, is the heart of the unconstitutional lawfare aimed at Donald Trump this week in a New York courtroom, ostensibly for hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. This is a crossing of the Rubicon moment for our Republic.

“Due process” is ancient shorthand for the sum of all the procedures the government must comply with and honor before it may take a person’s life, liberty, or property. The right to due process is over 1,000 years old in English jurisprudence. It is a right of every citizen and a duty of every government.

A year ago, I wrote about DA Bragg charging Trump with a crime, but not identifying the crime. Within the past few days, Andrew McCarthy called the prosecution a “farce” and listed its many failings. Prof. Jonathan Turley wrote that Trump is not being prosecuted for any actual crime. Prof. Jed Shugerman called the prosecution unfounded, both a “legal embarrassment” and a “historic mistake.”

SNIP

Make no mistake, this is a civil war battle, only it’s fought with a quill instead of a sword. Its existential ramifications for our nation are no less serious. What’s happening is a blatantly unlawful attempt to disenfranchise over half this nation and, by setting a precedent that sees Republicans exist below the ancient protections of due process, it threatens our nation with disunion at best.

Properly understood, these are acts of seditious conspiracy and treason meant to be felt throughout the United States. As such, Judge Merchan, Alvin Bragg, and all their cohorts need to be arrested and tried in the heartland of our nation. Let them face America. If convicted, they need to be punished to the maximum extent allowed by law.

What do these leftists think will happen to them when there is no more due process.

Make no mistake, it’s not revenge we want, it’s a reckoning!

I was just looking into the Trump criminal proceedings in Hotlanta and New York Slimy. Coincidence you just posted this.

Please can anyone with a good legal mind put the charges in general oil layman’s terms ?

To me they seem basically to almost all be about “hush money” payments?
But what else?

Spoiler: Democrats will not be held to account. They would not be conducting lawfare against Trump if they thought there was the slightest possibility they would ever be held to account. Who's going to hold Jack Smith and Letitia James to account? One is an unelected political appointee whose sole purpose in life is to conduct lawfare against Republicans who he never manages to get convicted, the other is someone who knows the voters will never go against her because (D) appears after her name. So who's going to hold them accountable? Mike Johnson, the latest in an endless line of Congressional GOP weaklings? Mitch McConnell?

Who is going to hold the lefties accountable? They own the judiciary, prosecutions and the press.

“Properly understood, these are acts of seditious conspiracy and treason”

These words need to go viral. I can’t understand why they are not being used with a fever to bring severity, truth, and reality to this criminal conspiracy.

“Lawfare” just doesn’t display the same degree of severity as “Criminal Conspiracy”.

One of the reasons people become Democrats in the first place is the lack of accountability on their side.

Heck, Democrats still need to be held to account for denying President Trump the ability to carry out his Presidential duties without interference during his first term.

As far as I’m concerned, the ONLY due process Democrats, Leftists, etc., deserve is the offer of a BLINDFOLD or CIGARETTE before the command to FIRE is given!!!!

Since they can’t think longer than a certain part of their anatomy, it probably hasn’t entered their minds yet.
