While the new Soviet Constitution of 1936 provided for due process guarantees such as the right to defend oneself in a public trial, Stalin took steps to "simplify" the judicial system. He eliminated the right of defense. He sped up trials and often held them in secret. He suppressed the right of appeal.
The only difference between Stalinist Russia and today's Democratic Party is the severity of the punishments. Like Stalin, the Democrats have picked their target first and then created the "crimes". Stalin quickly executed his political foes, Democrats by contrast do it slowly with a corrupted DOJ, multiple lawsuits, corrupted judges and massive financial penalties. They only differ by degree.
