1. Manchin is pretty much Joe Lieberman lite

[friendly_iconoclast]

2. There are plenty of politicians that are willing to elide due process, as long as it 'only'...

...affects those they don't like.

Unfortunately, not all of them are Republicans...

4. Sadly true . . .

"Due process," for such politicians, simply being fancy-schmancy talk for "the rule of law."

Ironically, Manchin and his ilk reveal the real purpose of the Second Amendment, which has nothing whatsoever to do with recreational/sport shooting, hunting, or even personal protection. The purpose of the Second Amendment is secure the right of the people to retain the means, if it should become necessary, to defend their liberty against those in power who think like Manchin and his ilk.

5. And also to defend the state

in the event of insurrection or invasion.

3. Uh, yeah.. no, we will not be thwarting "Due Process", Manchin

And from a Democrat, no less. Can't support that/him or other Dems who like things that are unconstitutional or shady, like the TPP.
