The Rule of Lawless 0

The Arizona Republic reports that right leaning Arizona State Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick is worried. Here’s a bit of the story, which refers to the Trump maladministration’s arresting and detaining immigrants (and some American citizens thought to immigrants, likely because of the color of their skin), often without cause and with observing due process:

“As if this concept (due process–ed.) was created by rogue liberal judges to help illegal immigrants stay in the country,” Bolick said. “Due process is the most foundational legal principle protecting individual liberty in Western civilization. It dates back to the Magna Carta. It does not deserve to be in quote marks.”

Bolick said Miller’s comment about potentially suspending habeas corpus if the courts didn’t do the right thing could be seen as a way “to intimidate the courts to reach decisions that they favor.”

The entire report is worthy of your attention.
