"It made me wonder how Miller plans to prove that someone “illegally” entered our country — it’s not an invasion no matter how many times he says it, that’s a whole different thing — if he doesn’t believe in due process. What if a bizarro future Democratic president claimed he’s illegal? He does spend an awful lot of time yelling on television in a way that reminds me of this Austrian guy. Are we sure he’s American by birth?
Wait, stop, he’s not allowed to dispute it or prove otherwise. That would be due process and application of the rule of law. Miller seems to want the government to be judge, jury, and executioner without the need for the public process that has defined our country for the past 250 years.
When I say 250 years, I’m not exaggerating. Due process — the principle that allows people to defend themselves against accusations by the government and have their day in court — has to some extent defined America’s values since before the Founding.
While we haven’t always perfectly lived up to the ideal of guaranteeing that everybody is innocent until proven guilty — think slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese interment, or the Red Scare — it’s always been one of the lodestars of the American ethos."
