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 |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
