Darn that Commie Due Process!

"Why is it not possible to immediately terminate that site?" Barton said. "You have to have some agency of the government definitively say that is child pornography. Once that's established, why can't we immediately cut off that site? (That would avoid) waiting for a court to go out and convict the people operating the site."

Yeah. Censorship by a government agency without any due process. That's real American, Barton. Darn that commie due process!

Shutting down child pornography is good, but this is really dangerous thinking here. Due process is there for a reason: to prevent abuse of power by the government. You want speed, then fix the bottlenecks in the judicial system. Bypass due process, and we might as well start to throw the constituion out the door "for the children."
