Why didn't Feser preach "due process" for the non-gangster, but US citizen J6 "Prisoners... [who] languish[ed] in the J6 gulag"?: @FeserEdward..due process..fundamental..@FreebieTX..Feser..However, his civilly confirmed MS-13 affiliation..arguably justifies deportation to protect society on natural law grounds..El Salvador, with greater sovereignty over its own citizen’s treatment, isn’t obligated to return him, and the U.S. can’t force
Yes, Biden’s policy was disastrous and Trump is right vigorously to reverse it. But the rule of law and due process are even more fundamental to justice and the common good than immigration policy. To flout them in the name of a good cause will only hurt that cause. And while the vice president is right to say that not all due process concerns are equally urgent, they are obviously urgent when a man has been sent to a prison like CECOT. Finally, yes, many progressives are arguing in bad faith. But that is irrelevant. I share the vice president’s commitment to natural law and Catholic moral principles. And we must adhere rigidly to those principles, whether or not our opponents do the same, and whether or not doing so serves our partisan interests.
