So, if someone decided to put you on the sexual predators list because at one time someone said you did something you would be ok with that?

That's not what's happening here. Although, Trump is a sexual predator, if not a rapist, the court found in another civil case.
Due Process is a Court process not a Congressional process.

Not a lie.
Check your own link, Roberts did not sit.
If you're going to argue that the impeachment of Trump for insurrection that resulted in acquittal was legitimate due process, then how can you justify removal of civil liberties with a statute he was acquitted of?

Not a lie.
Prove it then, by all means.
Any conviction of Trump for insurrection should suffice....
Did you Google that? LOL
Okay, Patrick Leahy oversaw Trump's 2nd impeachment. Roberts oversaw the 1st one.
I stand corrected.
First of all, Trump's lawyers argued he couldn't be convicted because he wasn't president. McConnel echoed those sentiments. Now, Trump's lawyers are claiming double jeopardy.
Secondly, the same way OJ Simpson was found Not Guilty, and still got sued for "Wrongful Death". Double jeopardy only applies to criminal cases.

Proof? You first!
Although, I do have seditious conspiracy convictions.
No, I read from your provided link. When trying to have a good faithed discussion, I'll happily use your own source when applicable to aid in making my points.
Point being, you are here making the claim of Trump being impeached (an allegation) and acquitted is due process.
Were OJ's voting and gun rights removed for his acquittal of murder?
What do you want me to prove? That an insurrection didn't happen?
Proving a negative is where your argument lands?
And what point is that?
I don't think you know what due process is. Please define "due process", according to JinMi.
Non-sequitur. No one is threatening to take away Trump right to self-defense.
Yes!
But there isn't a negative. There are hours and hours of video, implicating people shouting to "Take the Capitol" "Stop the Count", "Hang Mike Pense" and "Bring out Nancy", attacking the police, and strategically strategizing how to get to the floor and stop Congress from certifying the election of Joe Biden.
Prove that didn't really happen the way the Jan 6th Committee said.
That you claimed there was an insurrection, but there wasn't. That Justice Roberts sat on the impeachment, which he didn't.
My logic on due process would be an indictment, a trial and adjudication.
Were we to analogize yours and mine, we have the impeachment (the indictment), the trial (not really existent but for argument sake, the inquiry) and finally the adjudication (the acquittal).
Arguable as his attorney client privilege has been pierced, he's been illegally spied on and stood up to multiple impeachments.
Look. technically, none of that is true. I made a comment about what Roberts thought about the Senate trial not being a representation of due process, that I, mistakenly, thought he presided over. I was wrong, Leahy presided over that one. Roberts DID preside over Trump's 1st impeachment. The fact it was Leahy, not Roberts has no bearing on due process, and what you fancy it to be.
As for insurrection. While I do think there was an insurrection, that wasn't my argument. I didn't come in this thread shoutng about how there was an insurrection. I claimed that The House of Representatives charged Trump with "inciting an insurrection". I claimed that the Jan 6th Committee's evidence put the Maine SOS over the top, believing them to have proven that Trump incited an insurrection.
So you think due process only applies to criminal law? What about due process for civil suits?
But an impeachment is not a criminal trial. High crimes and misdemeanors could be anything Congress agrees it to be.
LOL Well, I wasn't talking about his criminal cases. I was just talking about his 14th Amendment, Section 3 problem.
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
