I thought it was settled that due process applies to people - with or without documents. Sure the Suorrme court may choose to shred the Constitution but isn’t there some chance that a District Court could stay this law - if Democrats dare to let it pass (despicably) - and an appellate court could uphold the stay?

Once we put due process in the toilet, nobody is safe, not even loyalists if they’re denounced to the right buddies of the self-proclaimed dictator .
“Innocent until PROVEN guilty” is in the bedrock of democracy.
I'm no expert on the legal system, but it seems to me that if you stack the courts with enough friendly judges, it is only a matter of time until they create an infrastructure that essentially insulates themselves, their peers, and their cronies from accountability, as long as there are those at a higher level who have their backs. The whole thing reeks of opportunism rather than judicial merit, as long as human nature holds true that people go where the money and influence flow.

I suppose there is an illusion of due process unless your a minority or poor.

I think your last sentence sums up the Trump ethos.
