Not merely because due process wasn't followed, regular Joe Citizen passively supports it by having no problem with this outcome in any meaningful way. There are no political consequences.
This is a country where a significant minority have elected a presidential candidate who activity argues against due process, using the argument that because terrorists don't follow due process neither should we. And that is an increasingly popular sentiment, that somehow following the law and ethics is liberal bullcrap, and that selective application of due process as a kind of loyalty test and reward is patriotic and heroic.
