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. |
