The comparison was to Germans -- pre and post Nazi-ism, with that peculiar mindset found in many Germans that there is only one way to look at a problem, and that that way that they know and use is the only way. No matter how ridiculous all more general ways of examination and logic show the outcome of such myopic mono-processes, nevertheless such german-type thinkers are unable to perceive, to ken, beyond that method they have been trained in.

Our judges have been trained the same way -- stare decisis, process is king. The "due" in due process they thus give nullity. According to the Founders the "due" was that due each man, the primal rights granted by the Creator -- yet the judges have ignored that due.

Amos calls the mindset "cultic" -- a better term than "german", perhsps -- yet the Germans I've met and those of the Reich show a cultural softness to such cultic myopic, straighjacketed philosophy. And so do we Americans! (Although history shows, never as a sustained majority.)

Another analogy -- and a proper one -- is to that which gave Nuremburg its authority. And that which the courts at Nuremburg properly declared to the world and history: That obedience to process is no excuse for murder.

That makes sense.

My criticism of this article is that it is overloaded. If it were split into two (one on what you stated, and another on our history/constitution/14th amendment) it would be much more palatable for discussion.
