Due process memes prove that even constitutional rights deserve their moment in the meme spotlight. If you are like me and have a strong sense of justice for all, you came to the right place.
Listen, I know that not everything you read online or watch on the news is true. What I do know is that the constitution is the rule of law.
Let’s dive right into the drama and the fight for fairness that comes with the topic of due process and constitutional rights. But, of course we have to add humor.
Best Due Process Memes That Say Follow the Law
So here it is. A collection of due process memes for the legal nerds, the policy wonks, and the people who just want the rules followed. Fair is fair.
Whether someone is innocent or guilty isn’t what due process is about. We don’t know that truth until they are given a fair trial. This is where the innocent until proven guilty thing comes into play.
Constitutional Rights
Whether you agree with the law or not, due process is a part of the constitution.
Why we are hearing so much about this topic from every end of the political spectrum… Democrats, Republicans and Independents – is because if there is no due process, why do we even have a constitution!
If our government officials are ignoring due process, what other aspects of the constitution will that ignore?
5th and 14th Amendment
There are two different constitutional amendments that specifically call out due process.
This applies to everyone in the United States, not just our citizens. Need a United States constitution refresher course? Read up on the amendments mentioned in these due process memes.
TLDR: Both constitutional amendments say: the government has to play fair, follow the process, and respect your rights… no shortcuts allowed.
- Fifth Amendment – Protects your right to due process from the federal government. They cannot take your life, liberty, or property without fair legal steps.
- Fourteenth Amendement – Applies the same due process protections to state governments. No state can skip the rules or deny equal protection under the law.
What the Supreme Court Says
The United States Supreme Court did step in this week and put in a temporary ruling against the Trump administration – blocking him from deporting Venezuelan immigrants.
Trump’s latest argument is that America cannot give everyone a trial.
This statement alone is terrifying. The President of the United States should know the law and respect it, regardless if he doesn’t agree with it.
While Justice Scalia died in 2016, he was a well-respected conservative judge. His words and stance on due process, specifically with the hot topic of deportations – are again relevant.
Checks and Balances
While at one time, a segment of people were screaming about King Biden – the tides once agian turn. Politics are wild but at least for now, one thing is holding us together from dictatorship. That thing?
Checks and balances. We need to ensure that due process remains a priority – with the rest of the constitution.
The Final Word on Due Process Memes
At the end of the day, due process is not just a fancy phrase from your civics class.
It is the backbone of fairness in the justice system and the reason we have hearings, trials, and that one friend who always demands a vote before picking the lunch spot.
If you like these due process memes, here are others you might enjoy as well!
When people skip the process, things get messy. When people respect the process, things get… well, at least slightly less messy. Either way, it makes excellent meme material.
Feel free to share these due process memes with your favorite constitutional nerd, your group chat, or anyone who needs a friendly reminder that justice is not just a vibe. It is a right.
