    Good thing there are severe penalties for violating people’s constitutional rights!

    Fifth Amendment

    No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

    Apparently (from the Ars comments) the SCOTUS interprets ‘due process’ as a form of antidiscrimination. Thus lack of due process is discrimination.

    I can’t make that connection but I’m not a constitutional expert.
