WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders: Due Process Doesn't Require a Judge
Source: The Daily Beast
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders attempted Monday to defend President Donald Trumps claim that immigrants seeking asylum should not be seen by a judge. In a pair of tweets Monday morning, Trump attacked due process and argued that immigrants should immediately be refused at the border, writing that Hiring manythousands [sic] of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process, is not the way to go - will always be disfunctional [sic]. People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in its [sic] tracks - and at very little, by comparison, cost, he added. When a reporter asked Sanders about the tweets during a press briefing, she responded that Just because you dont see a judge doesnt mean you arent receiving due process, according to a tweet from Politico. It seems unlikely, however, that blocking immigrants at the border would fulfill the requirements of due process, which states that no person, citizen or non-citizen, be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

(115,868 posts)At least not the Constitution we know. According to Wikipedia, "Huckabee attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. There, she was elected student body president and was active in Republican organizations. In 2004, she graduated from the university with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in political science and minoring in mass communications." No law school, not even Trump University.

Sarah Sanders is so ignorant. She should not be the press secretary.

(90,787 posts)they are only following their beliefs.
But when someone denies them a meal at a restaurant - not based on skin hue or gender or sexuality but on what a horrible person she is - then they're victims.
They're all for "freedom of association" as long as they are the ones who come out on top.
Hypocrites all.

Who needs due process? You know the real answer.
Who needs judges? Would Harah Suckabee Slanders settle for police being judge, jury, and executioner when they they arrest her for a murder she didn't commit?
What she is really saying is "colored people don't need judges" (note: a phrase she'd use if she could get away with it).
