    Due process exists for both the innocent and the worst out there. You want that to be there to protect you and everyone else.

      He went through due process and was adjudicated unfit by the Supreme Court of Colorado to be on the ballot in Colorado because insurrectionists are bannned. The Supreme Court of the Republican Party Bigfooted it and said he had to be on the ballot anyway

        These are different situations. And even though the SCOTUS is filled with idiots, due process did occur there.

      The Toupee is already a convicted felon. Due process would not permit him to leave the state where he was convicted, let alone run for office.

        I don’t deny that there is preferential behavior going on but people are also commonly out while awaiting sentencing with or without travel restrictions. Due process means he gets a fair trial and a fair sentence. So far that is happening.
