There's no way a law can violate due process of law, because, "due process of law" means making sure you have a law to back up your actions against someone - in other words, not just throwing someone in the slammer because you consider him a "threat", or just plain don't like him.I think I understand you. I think you're just saying that the Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause must not be interpreted to limit the power of state legislatures because any law that a state legislature enacts by your definition constitutes due process of law. That's one way of reading the due process clause and it's not necessarily an incorrect interpretation just because hardly anyone else reads it that way.

If you have a different way of looking at it, that you can back up logically, I'd be interested in hearing it.
