Due Process Cannot Begin with Force Alone, Nor Be Certified in a Cage
Due process is not merely what happens after a courtroom convenes. It is the principle that state power must be exercised through law at every stage, how custody is obtained, how liberty is restrained, and under what conditions a person is held. When the posture of state action resembles wartime force but proceeds under civilian criminal law, definitions matter. If words and actions diverge, legitimacy, not guilt, is what comes under scrutiny.
