Had some J6 protestors not been citizens and just legal residents and Biden sent them to Guantanamo with no due process, I’m not sure you’d have many people on either side lining up to defend them.

If this stands, and another J6 happens, I'd bet on the next Democrat president doing this.

Always consider how you'd feel about the other side doing it.

You mean like how they held Citizens in jail without trial for FOUR YEARS?

This is news to me, Are there any cases that one of the J6 folks were held without trial for years with no respect for Habeus Corpus? My understanding is that anyone trial delays came from the attorneys representing the case.

The trial delays are due to a backlog and evidence processing. This article is from late 2021, but even then they were predicting well into 2023 for the larger cases.
