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.  

Four Things That Amaze Me

 1.  It is truly amazing....in one single week, CNN and a dozen-odd networks go out and find at least 300 'experts' on gangs, MS-13, and tattoo symbiology.

2.  I've reached a point where I believe the actual President of the United States from early 2023 to January 2025....was Jill Biden.  I'm not saying it's a bad thing....just that the reality of believing this is amazing.

3.  It's now figured....around 2-million Americans have some type of opioid-use-disorder.  So you can figure in a typical 24-hour day....you probably will bump into at least two folks with this 'condition'.

4.  I've reached a level where if I'm given any information by a political figure....I immediately discount it as a fact, until I can research it myself. Yeah, it's consuming an hour of my free time each day.
