The point here is the removal of due process. His DNS was shut off by Bluehost without any warning -- in this case there was actually abuse, but what if it were a false positive?

Unsure why you are being down voted - think you are 100% right.
Spamhaus are not the villains here. First of all, you make the absurd complaint that Spamhaus "blacklisted" your domain. That is a lie. Spamhaus runs an SMTP blacklist of ip addresses that some other SMTP providers use, not all. There is no way for Spamhaus to blacklist anyone's domain.
So what actually happened? Spamhaus detected a spammer website hosted on your company's ip addresses, and they did the responsible thing. They reported the spam website to the ISP hosting it.
As for your claim that Bluehost shut off the DNS, why aren't you ringing up Bluehost to demand that they restore it? You might find that a better use of your time than making these absurd allegations and trying to win sympathy by making comparisons to SOPA where none exist.
