  1. [another noteworthy section is on Souter’s confirmation hearings]

    When the Senate #Judiciary Cmte hearing began…Senators & reporters quickly realized that Souter was an impressively erudite nominee.…Amid all the concepts & issues he was asked to address, 2…stand out as most revealing: #liberty & #precedent. …Specifically, Souter stressed that in the #DueProcess clause language of the #5thAmendment & #14thAmendment, "the concept of liberty IS NOT LIMITED BY THE SPECIFIC SUBJECTS.”

  2. “…whatever differences we may have as Americans, the #Constitution is the common ground on which we stand. It’s what binds us across time & generations. ....It’s what makes us one people,” #MikePence said.

    His comments came hours after an interview w/ #Trump aired in which he was asked whether US #citizens & #noncitizens both deserve #DueProcess as laid out in the #5thAmendment of the Constitution.…

  3. "the #FifthAmendment expressly states that “No *person* shall … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of #law….”...

    You don’t have to be a lawyer to understand that this means everyone in the #US... is entitled to #DueProcess. To say you “don’t know” whether you can agree w/the clear language of the #5thAmendment means you aren’t even trying to defend the #Constitution. Rather, you are dismissing and defying it."
