The term “due process” can sound like jargon, so when people use it consider replacing it with “factual accuracy.” The law says the govt can do certain things to people if certain facts exist. Requiring "due process" is how courts ensure that those facts actually exist.

I need more of this in my life right now. I need a break from this reality.
