re: Jake Tapper said Due Process is not a constitutional right

At no point did Tapper say that Due Process is not a Constitutional right. The thread title is a lie.

No it isn't a lie.

The title is the proper inference that is drawn from the implication of his statement.

By saying that Due Process is just a courtroom term, Tapper is saying it isn't a constitutional right.

Well, the huge settlements paid out by Duke would indicate otherwise.

Yes, because the only reason why anyone sues anyone is because of Due Process violations

You seem to assume the concept of Due Process is solely applicable to the Court system. It isn't.

Most 3rd graders have a higher education than he does. I’m still not sure if he’s literate.

we’ve long known you have a tenuous grip on reality, but it’s still alarming to see you bringing your assault to the basic meaning of words.

Due process is often structured through formal organizational policy in Corporate bylaws, Hospital Performance Improvement Procedures, Credentialing/Decredentialing mechanisms, Employment Contracts, etc.

So what exactly do you take Tapper's BS to mean, aside from Due Process being a courtroom term?

---

That private citizens can't violate due process, only government entities can. If someone, for example, accuses a Hollywood producer of sexual assault and he's ostracized by the industry, that's not a due process violation. Might it be shitty and shortsighted? Sure. But that's a separate issue.

Functionally, it's no different than crying about the First Amendment when someone gets fired for some unpopular thing they said.

Aw now, you're so upset. Relax. Geaux get a tissue.

Wonder what he would've said back in the 50's when blacks were being railroaded in the courts down South.

That it was a Due Process violation. Because, you know, it's a government actor

In other words, you would rather have lynch mob justice than due process.

It is what we call it. It is workplace due process. The terminology, due process, is ubiquitous throughout corporate America. It is the formal actionable process due to one, as laid out in workplace policies. If action is taken outside of the defined process, the corporation, hospital, board, etc are subject to retaliatory liability.

I know. Look, you and I aren't far from each other on this one, irrespective of whether you call it due process and I call it contract law. Let's get back to the context of this thread.

Trump is catching shite because he cited to due process when people were calling for him to terminate someone who is a presidential appointee with practically zero termination rights. Due process has nothing to do with it. That's all Tapper was saying. Now, Trump can say that he doesn't trust the accusers and wants the courts to sort it out, but just braying about Due Process isn't particularly relevant to the situation.

And I say all of this as someone who thinks #metoo has turned into a bit of a witch hunt
