Don't kid yourself - citizens increasingly have no problem at all giving up due process. The egregious abuses of government and judicial authority have largely faded from our living memory, and many people no longer really understand why these safeguards were set up in the first place. Or they only imagine the bad people - other people - falling afoul of authority.
