It doesn't violate the U.S. Constitution. I would support repealing it, but not challenging it in federal court. Anyone who supports the latter should be shot.

If a North Carolina court nullified part of the Constitution, I would support an appeal.

Opebo, of course, needs to be shot.

Due process is derived from Magna Carta. It means the executive branch of government has to deal with you in the proper manner dictated by law.

Taking drugs is liberty. Killing people is liberty. We can take away liberty all we want, so long as we provide due process, and this is certainly due process.

The "executive branch" was the king. The point is, you have to be judged by the law, rather than the will of any official.

It is not, as a matter of textual content, restricted to the executive branch, but in practice it is, as the executive branch is the only one that's in a position to take away life, liberty, or property.

That's EXACTLY what the amendment says. LAW. You can be deprived life, liberty, and property, and very easily so: LAW. That's all that has to be done. You have to be judged in accordance with the fitting process mandated by law.

That is a historical fact. Not an opinion. That's all it ever meant, until the Supreme Court started expanding the clause into this "substantive due process" nonsense, which THEY THEMSELVES admit they made up.

They call it the living, breathing Constitution. That's fine, but then don't lie to yourself by pretending it's actually unconstitutional.
