Episode description

The idea of "due process" as a privilege or an option, given to some but denied others, has become a cornerstone of the policies of the second Donald Trump administration - and the right-wing disinformation machine appears all too willing to go along. What is due process, and what risks do each of us assume for ourselves in standing by as it's taken away from others, for any reason? We're fortunate to have two respected North Texas attorneys, Louis Bedford and Jason Smith, on the Progress Institute board, and are proud to share with you their perspectives and warnings about the recent attempts by MAGA to erode this fundamental aspect of American freedom and justice, and why it's imperative that ALL Americans fight back.
