Andrew Klavan is a great thinker....here, he discusses the attack on our bedrock tradition of due process for the accused.....which the left never cared about except as a weapon to gain more power....

Like so much else....Trump is forcing the left wing democrats to reveal who they really are, and how they hate Justice for the innocent.....

KLAVAN: Due Process Trumps #MeToo

So much is disturbing about the Brett Kavanaugh fracas. The cynical political use of a wholly unverifiable charge to tarnish the reputation of an admired and accomplished man is disgusting. The idea that the party that rallied around “Lion of the Senate” Ted Kennedy and alleged rapist Bill Clinton now has the authority to lecture us on how to treat women is galling in its hypocrisy. And, as always, the one-sided and unfair reporting by the mainstream media is not just infuriating but also crippling to our national conversation.

But for all that, what strikes me as most dangerous about this Democrat-made fiasco is the phenomenon of leftist feminist women using their suddenly sacred feminine sensitivities to try to bully us out of our commitment to due process.

Due process means fair treatment by the legal system. Its central purpose is to protect the accused — because it is the accused who is threatened with being “deprived of life, liberty or property.”

Our Constitutional guarantees to due process only protect us from state and federal systems. But just as there is a culture of free speech that upholds our First Amendment, so there is a culture of due process that upholds our Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Whether on a college campus or in a corporation or at a non-judicial hearing, the accused should be presumed innocent until
proven guilty.

This is a concept that goes to the very core of Western justice. The 18th century British jurist Sir William Blackstone said it most succinctly: “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” But the logic goes all the way back to Genesis, wherein Abraham begged God not to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah lest even ten innocents die along with the guilty.
