"Under the US Constitution, there are substantive rights and due process rights."

....... I don't know if you have noticed ... But we are now living in a Post Constitutional America where the Constitution only applies to Conservatives. The Democrats and Anti Trump factions are showing us what can actually be accomplished if the true application of the Constitution is ignored and the Federal Enforcement Agencies are used to enforce their wishes.

.... Sadly ... that is where we currently stand in this country .... And if we have any hope of restoring the Constitution ....in order to save the country ... All of this will need to be overcome ....

..... Yup .... Reality Sucks ....

“... I don’t know if you have noticed ... But we are now living in a Post Constitutional America where the Constitution only applies to Conservatives.”

Yes, we have strayed so far from the meaning and operation of the Constitution (e.g. its enumeration, a limitation on federal power) that none of the living have any experience with its operation. Certain aspects have been maintained more or less, and the trend since FDR has been their erosion. Depending how Roberts, Kavanaugh and ACB are feeling on any particular date, the court has pulled back toward the Constitution on some issues.

With regards to the unrestrained, unaccountable, anti-Constitutional, and in some cases the criminal activities of certain administrative agencies - that has been a significant concern for informed citizens of this great nation for a long time. Justice Thomas has made comments in recent times that the (unrestrained) power of the administrative agencies should be revisited. Supreme Court decisions (e.g. Chevron) has paved the way for the all powerful administrative state. May such cases come before the Court while Thomas and Alito are still there.
