“That’s no defense of the FLDS. It’s a defense of due process and Constitutional guarantees, so they are there when you and I need them.”
They are ‘rights’, not guarantees. No one guarantees that someone, somewhere, sometime, even someone in authority, won’t violate your rights. But, you do have the justice system to address those violations.
Other than the 2 women who were taken as ‘minors’, who’s rights were violated?
And this due process, and these rights, are still ‘there’. The raid hasn’t altered the Justice system or Constitution.
That’s a moronic response. When the government can violate Constitutional rights with impunity, then those rights no longer exist.
We’re those children removed for sixty days improperly? The answer is yes. Were the government perpetrators prosecuted? No.
Your twisting of due process and Constitutional rights or guarantees are childish. And yes, those Constitutional rights are guarantees, even if you can’t quite grasp it.
