Senior Republican flounders when asked about Trump plan to deport US citizens to foreign jails

4. This is a question like, "does 2+2 equal 4," or "does the sky...

...reflect light in the frequency we call blue?" I wish these dim-witted reporters would skip to the harder questions and bypass these silly ones that they know the Republican in question will easily sidestep.

In this case the question should not be about authority or anything else, but what happens to the due-process afforded to every American citizen (and yes, everyone, but here we are) once they are deported to a foreign country? Just because you have been convicted of a crime and sentenced does not remove your right to petition the courts on issues related to your case--even when you have technically run out of appeals since new information could always arise that needs to be considered by the court. And the cases they claim they want to send to other countries are likely some of the most complicated and consequential. Believe it or not: a murder case is infinitely more complicated to argue than a traffic violation.

The next question--since presumably they can not defend the loss of due process--is how does that look? Do we fly them back and forth for every court date? Do we have virtual courts? Do we set up a U.S. court in El Salvador or wherever? And if a court rules someone is to be set free how does that happen? And how is this saving the U.S. anything?

We need each and every one of these sycophants on record saying whether they care if American citizens are afforded due-process or not. And if they do, how does that happen from a jail in a foreign country?
