Earlier today, the Senate upheld due process by rejecting a bill that would prevent so-called “suspected terrorists” from purchasing guns.
Let’s just say Sally Kohn’s not taking it very well:

Nonsense. They upheld well-established American due process protections. You went to law school. Grow the hell up. https://t.co/BHuf6tPPMN

God forbid we have due process in our legal system. You understand being on a watch list isn't a crime in and of itself, right @sallykohn?
— Pierre Delecto (@TrillScottP) December 4, 2015
@sallykohn Right! It's a list generated by the government to deny selected Americans their rights – what could possibly be wrong with that?

I could do all caps Return-key schtick but why bother? This just un-Const'l hackery for partisan point-scoring gain. https://t.co/ufZi8EnDR5

Yep.
Add Kohn to the list of people who don't know that the no-fly list is different than the terrorism watch list. https://t.co/80qqqfuP9N

@charlescwcooke @sallykohn Sally, not sure if you know, but would you like someone w/CT experience to explain how watchlists are compiled?
— The Nats Won The World Series (@EsotericCD) December 4, 2015
@sallykohn Due process. What happened is the GOP just protected the constitutional rights of anyone placed on some arbitrary list.

Either way, enumerated constitutional rights are strongly protected. The position you're taking is disgraceful. https://t.co/XXt28QKJxj
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) December 4, 2015
Disgraceful is as Sally does.
