    If the notary public's sign. makes a document legal stating that whatever the situation may be took place on whatever date they (the notary public) signed it, and being that plea hearings take place before sentencing hearings, if the sentencing is dated to have taken place before plea hearing in criminal court.....isnt that a violation of due process?

    A notary public doesn't attest to the legitimacy or legality of the document signed.

    A notary simply attests to the legitimacy of WHO signed the document, ie.. Joe Jones appeared personally along with Sue Green and signed a document.

    The notary takes no note of what Joe and Sue signed, as that is not what a notary does.

    The notary simply attests to the fact that Sue and Joe were personally known to the notary, or the notary validated the identity of Sue and Joe by looking at acceptable documents of identity: State issued drivers license, Passport, Military ID card, Public Health Service or Indian Health Service ID Card, Police ID, other city or state issued ID, etc...

    What you suggested does not violate any constitutional rights that may be owed to you.
