This analysis is disturbing, in that it claims that the SCOTUS has upheld a priori confiscation of property and suspension of rights without adversarial hearings.
But one thing jumped out at me, and this is a critical point:
"...they do not involve any criminal charges or punishments."
Technically, RF is a civil, not criminal procedure, HOWEVER, the 'punishment' imposed by an ex parte confiscation order imposes a penalty indistinguishable from that imposed by a criminal conviction, without 6th Amendment due process.
'Temporary' or not, it is the removal of a constitutional right and property, de facto.
And that dog don't hunt.
Not by my lights, anyway. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
