Due process - who needs it?

To: Rep. Frankel, Sen. Scott, Sen. Moody

From: A constituent in Boynton Beach, FL

April 15

Wow. Just… wow. I have to hand it to you and your esteemed colleagues—you’ve really outdone yourselves this time. I didn’t think it was possible to so thoroughly dismantle centuries of legal tradition and constitutional rights with such flair, but here we are. Due process? Oh, that old thing? So last century, right? It’s refreshing to see that the idea of needing charges, trials, or even a shred of evidence before imprisoning someone is now considered quaint. And hey, why bother with all that messy legal stuff when you can just kidnap people and whisk them away to some undisclosed location where they can rot quietly, out of sight and out of mind? Citizen, non-citizen, tourist, barista, grandma—what’s the difference anymore? You’ve streamlined things so efficiently that now anyone can be disappeared without all that bureaucratic red tape. Bravo! Honestly, I’m just relieved. I used to lose sleep worrying that someone might be falsely accused or detained without knowing why. But now I realize how silly I was—justice clearly works best when it’s invisible, unaccountable, and run like a black-ops vacation package. And the best part? No charges, no trial, no phone call, no pesky lawyer. Just a one-way ticket to a foreign prison and a strong possibility of dying there. Is this America? Oh absolutely—just not the one I remember swearing allegiance to. Please pass along my heartfelt thanks to whoever decided the Constitution was more of a suggestion than a governing document. It’s comforting to know that if I ever speak too loudly, ask the wrong questions, or happen to look suspicious while walking my dog, I might get a free trip to a concrete box somewhere in the desert. Democracy in action!
