Please don't try to pontificate about the Constitution if you have no idea what it actually says. The fifth amendment indicates that you can be deprived of liberty after due process of law. That is to say, after you get convicted of a felony, you may have certain rights restricted.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoThat's a curious reading. Its about due process, and loss of life, liberty or property is forbidden without due process. I guess you can read that to mean loss of liberty is allowed for criminals. Did they mean temporary incarceration, or lifetime loss of ALL liberties? Its not clear to me. Sigh.
- joshuapants 11y agoIt's really not a curious reading at all; the due process clauses in the fifth and fourteenth amendments are the basis for the constitutionality of laws that deprive felons of certain rights. > Did they mean temporary incarceration, or lifetime loss of ALL liberties? Possibly either, but it's entirely possible to have those liberties restored by court order.
