Joe Manchin laments Fifth Amendment: ‘Due process is what’s killing us right now’
The Washington Times ^ | 6/16/2016 | Douglas Ernst

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin told an MSNBC panel on Thursday that the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is "killing us" in terms of preventing gun violence.

Mr. Manchin, a Democrat, referred to due process as an inconvenient "firewall" when it comes to denying Americans firearms.

Money quote: "So can't we say that if a person is under suspicion, there should be a five-year period of time that we have to see if good behavior, if this person continues the same traits?"

The “terrorist watch list” should be converted into the “priority deportation list”. I’d rather let Jose from Tegucigalpa stay a while longer if it means getting Sayeed from Hanidh outta here.

Manchin is another jerk who hates Americans. He’s all upset about due process, but he doesn’t care that the half breed won’t let the FBI investigate Mohammedans.

When I grew up in the 1970’s, the phrase “Its a free country” was used a lot.

Now, not so much.

There are a few on this very forum that agree with this tyrant.

So this guy would be happy to suspend the Constitution and go straight to a Stalinist/Fascist state? The camps are next and then when do the liquidations begin?

Everyday I continue to be amazed at the slow dance we seem to be doing to move toward that which we fought W.W. II to stop. Yet here we are, moving toward tyranny and some sort of Dictatorship.

So true. But he’s no worse that the average Democrat/communist as that is what the Democratic party has become. They are not liberals they are communists. Its insidious treason.

I'm pretty sure that won't work; the GOP is, after all, a collection of ball-less wonders.
