Today’s childish antics of Democrats – clearly a stunt calculated to appeal to the emotions of their low-information constituency – is in effect, a protest against due process.
 
Writing at the Federalist, Gabriel Malor provides some background on their stunt. In the wake of the Orlando gay bar shooting (rather than do the common sense thing and go after jihadists) Congress seems to feel we need more gun laws (that won’t be enforced) so they’ve been debating several measures ~

Republicans were willing to link the terrorism watch list to a gun sales ban, as Democrats have demanded. The price of agreement was due-process protections for Americans placed on the list. But apparently due process is too much for the Democrats. They would rather have no sales ban than a sales ban that comports with the Fifth Amendment. The Democrats similarly rejected an incremental expansion of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Apparently, some gun control is not worth sharing credit with the Republicans.
 
Not content to merely vote against incremental gun control, Senate Democrats then decided to throw a tantrum about it. Murphy sleazed that Senate Republicans “have decided to sell weapons to ISIS.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted her agreement. Sen. Harry Reid nonsensically accused Republicans of blocking the very gun control measures Republicans had proposed.
 
Make no mistake: Senate Democrats rejected two incremental gun control bills for no other reason than that Republicans were voting for them. Democrats’ hatred for Republicans was more important to them than the moral standards they claim to possess.

Remember, House Democrats are holding their "sit-in" chiefly to violate your civil rights under the Fifth Amendment, not the Second.
