Ducey is no different than the others on "red flag". Notice how he dances around due process - they ALL do. To them, ex parte with a full hearing later satisfies due process.
But it doesn't. When what's at stake is the denial of a fundamental right, a full adversarial hearing is mandatory BEFORE any rights are suspended. Although it is technically a civil action, when the consequences are indistinguishable from those imposed by a criminal action 6th Amendment guarantees must be included.
If the current scheme were extrapolated to its extreme, the state could execute people first and hold the trial later.
Which, of course, is ridiculous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
