Trump: terror suspects shouldn't get Due Process, or medical treatment!

[Blue3]

Trump's on a roll today... he's upset that the suspect (an American citizen) is

1. allowed to get medical treatment

2. has to have a trial through the due process of the law before he's punished


He doesn't seem to understand the point of trial... or understand that mob anger shouldn't determine the outcome of a court case... or why we have most amendments in the Bill of Rights...

Even scarier than Trump saying these things is the fact that a majority of the Republican base probably agrees with him.

The majority of Americans have always supported things that were blatantly unconstitutional.  It doesn't matter what they support though, because we have a Constitution.

"John Marshall has made his decision: now let him enforce it!"
---President Andrew Jackson

And how did that work out?

The Supreme Court was ignored, the Trail of Tears happened, and Andrew Jackson never received a consequence except the critical commentary of historians.

I don't think there's been a nominee for President with more contempt for the constitution and what it means.

Yet his supporters will at least "say" they're defending the Constitution from evil anti-constitutionalist Hillary.
