"The public at large has misconceptions about what due process actually means..." and they justify the GOP justices' ruling that anybody in the US can get kidnapped off the street, kept in an unknown location, shackled like Gitmo prisoner, and then sent 1,000s of miles away to another country to live a life of torment in a hell prison.

One of the people speaking is Tricia McLaughlin. She's a comms person for Homeland. She has no Wikipedia page and I can't tell if she's a lawyer or not. She's probably not.

As Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Tricia McLaughlin oversees the Department of Homeland Security’s public outreach, including its media, digital, strategic and crisis communications efforts, and serves as the principal advisor to Secretary Noem on all external and internal communications.

NPR doesn't exactly says she's just a comms person. Fucking NPR - they say...

Tricia McLaughlin — assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security — said the Trump administration's deportations are legal.

Due to her job she already appears on Fox News and CNN.

Maybe I was wrong before. Maybe the right-wing "legal experts" on CNN and such won't even have law degrees. They'll simply be right-wingers who are attractive and telegenic and Aryan.
