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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
