12:20Now PlayingSenator Jeff Merkley pressed Kash Patel on one of the most fundamental promises of the U.S. Constitution: due process. The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no person — not just citizens, but all persons — can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. But when Merkley asked Patel if immigrants deported without hearings were denied their rights, Patel dodged, deflected, and failed to give a clear answer.
This moment raises a disturbing question: do those seeking positions of authority truly understand — or respect — the Constitution they swear to uphold? In this Liberal Lens breakdown, we dive deep into why due process is the backbone of American democracy, why the framers enshrined it so early in our history, and what it means when officials act as if those protections are optional.
If due process can be denied to some, it can be denied to all. And that’s why vigilance, accountability, and civic engagement are more important than ever.
Watch, share, and join the conversation. Democracy only survives when we demand it.
