Democratic Congressman Accidentally Argues Terrorist Watch Lists Could Have Due Process Problem | The Weekly Standard

Democratic Congressman Accidentally Argues Terrorist Watch Lists Could Have Due Process Problem | The Weekly Standard: Democrats are still making due process the enemy of their efforts following the Orlando shooting—or they're trying to, at least.

On Thursday, New York representative Jerry Nadler tweeted, "We must not use due-process as an excuse to support mass murder," along with a link to his speech on the House floor.

In the speech, Nadler said he's "one of the most concerned people" about due process rights, citing his opposition to the Patriot Act. However, he argues banning people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing guns, with no notification and no trial, does not deny them those rights. Nadler says Republicans' concern about the issue is "not real here."
