Reply #138: I emphatically agree.

The Founding Fathers did not regard any crime as so heinous that the mere accusation of which eliminated the call for due process. Even treason, which they regarded as the most heinous imaginable crime, was still under the purview of law. It is the only crime which has its rules of evidence explicitly laid out in the Constitution. They took the rule of law very seriously, and that is the legacy which we inherit. We would do well to act in the same way.
