Without Exception: Defending Due Process in a Partisan World

Published: 11/08/2026

When I spoke out against fathers being deprived of due process in the family court system, single mothers came out of the woodwork claiming that all those fathers must be guilty of domestic violence and did not deserve due process.

When I spoke out against prisoners being tortured and held without due process in Guantanamo during the Bush administration, neocons came out of the woodwork and accused me of being a weak-minded, Muslim loving liberal.

When I spoke out against the Obama administration using drone strikes to kill people without due process—including American citizens—Democrats came out of the woodwork and claimed I was only interested in due process because I hated Obama.

When I spoke out against January 6 captives being held without due process, progressives came out of the woodwork and accused me of being an insurrectionist and a “Trump-loving fascist.”

When I spoke out against alleged drug runners being killed in international waters without due process during the Trump administration, Trump supporters came out of the woodwork and accused me of being an American-hating drug addict.

What happened to make so many people so hateful that they are willing to undermine the fundamental, unalienable rights enshrined in and protected by our Constitution? These are rights our forefathers fought for and were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect.

Know this, regardless of what party is in control of the Federal Government, I will continue to stand up for our unalienable and constitutionally protected rights. Due process is one of those rights, explicitly guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. These rights are not gifts from government; they are those “to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them” (Declaration of Independence).

Unalienable rights, by definition, do not only apply to American citizens; they are rights which apply to every living human being on this planet. This Country’s Founding Fathers understood this and enshrined these rights in this Country’s founding documents. The United States was once a beacon of hope because it defended these rights. Shame on anyone who is willing to actively work against the rights so many have sacrificed their lives to protect.

As the Declaration of Independence states: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

When I swore my oath to defend and uphold the Constitution, it was to defend and uphold the Constitution without exception, just when the outcome of a situation aligned with my personal beliefs.
