    Right about the radical left wanting to imprison political opponents. Without due process

    Over an illegal lottery that could be argued to be a sweep

          What does this have to do with holding someone for a year before prosecution? I thought we were all assumed innocent until proven guilty, unless those cops really are bastards omgg!

      Jail and prison are 2 different things. You are held in jail, and may be able to be let out on bond depending on the charges against you, while you wait to receive your due process. You are not held in a prison until you are sentenced by a judge, following a conviction by a jury.

      If your due process is violated and you are imprisoned without conviction, guess who would probably be interested in taking your case? Probably the ACLU.
