Due process is a guarantee made to citizens. The form it takes or method it is delivered by is not overly specific, and there is nothing about it that mandates it be scoped to one particular branch of government. If it's the executive branch handing down restrictions of liberty, well then I guess it's the executive branch that is responsible for ensuring due process.
