Four Q-an-A

 For the  past week, I've noticed the term 'due-processs'....getting mentioned a good bit.  So to four facts:

1.  Does due-process have to be accomplished by a judge?

NO.  Some people probably believe this....but you can't find too many rules that say this in plain-simple language.

2.  Can due-process be accomplished strictly by a lawyer?

Well....no....in fact, you don't even need a four-year degree....to be a due-process official.  You could just as well designate some Army Captain, or supervisor of a border-control station with due-process authority.  You will find in various European countries that deportation due-process rests with a border-control 'boss' (not a judge).

3.   Are we taking due-process too far?

Well....eventually your 13-year old kid (Marvin) will get into school trouble, and Marvin facing disciplinary woes....will demand due-process...over and over....saying that merely a teacher issuing an order is not enough, and even a principal is not capable.

4.  Won't Trump eventually react and say no federal judge has the capacity to issue a ruling on due-process?

Well...yeah, it's conceivable. Maybe our whole democracy now rests on everyone getting a minimum of five due-processes....for everything we might stand accused of.
