    It means even less, if your first impulse is to toss it all out the window as soon as it’s no longer convenient for you to follow it.

      “Yes, the current system is slow and ineffective, and has done nothing to prevent the incarceration and deportation of innocent people, misappropriation of funds, and misuse of the military, but to demand anything else would be going against the ineffective system!”

        So, because people are currently being denied the right to due process…due process itself, doesn’t work?

          The current process of Due Process is allowing blatantly illegal activities to continue unhindered because “we need to give them time to comply even when they are clearly not going to.” You need a different process, and pointing out that the system is not working is perfectly valid.

              Sure I do. Exact the same. Biggly.

              A baseless adhominim does not refute my statement, you get that right?

                That’s not what an ad hominem is. You are literally parroting his justification for suspending the due process rights of everyone he wants to deport…right down to the part about “allowing criminals to get away with it…blah, blah, blah”.

                If you think these people are criminals, then prove it in court. Present your evidence to a judge and jury. If they are as guilty as you say, then you should get a conviction. And no one will be able to refute it.

                But if you simply do away with the whole process, you are guaranteeing that innocent people will be persecuted for nothing more than suspicion of guilt. They will have no means of clearing their name, when people like Trump accuse them of something they didn’t do. Are all those people worth throwing under the bus?

                  Is not equal to “do away with the whole process”.

                  Once again, if you’re not going to bother reading things before replying to them then what’s the point?

                    I’m simply responding to what you wrote. How else are you expecting me to read it?

                    How do you implement a “different process” without doing away with the one you have? Are you talking about making some minor adjustments now…or coming up with something else entirely?

                    And please, explain this “different process”. I would love to hear how you’ve solved the problems with the legal system, the way it is. I’m sure the world will be grateful that someone has finally come up with a system that can’t be abused. Your Nobel prize awaits.
