Biden nominee attacks Trump-era rule
that assumes students accused of rape
are innocent until proven guilty
1. 'Innocent Until Proven Guilty' is also known as 'Presumption of Innocence' and is NOT a 'Trump-Era Rule'
The presumption of innocence is a legal principle that every person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. Under the presumption of innocence, the legal burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which must present compelling evidence to the trier of fact (a judge or a jury).If the prosecution does not prove the charges true, then the person is acquitted of the charges.
The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments both touch on “due process.” Due process generally means that the government cannot deprive you of your freedom or property unless they go through the right processes. It is understood that your right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty is a fundamental element of due process. In that sense, it is a constitutional right, even if it is not directly addressed.

They failed spectacularly.
'Innocent until proven guilty is no longer “settled law,” you see. In fact, innocent until proven guilty only applies to Democrats. Otherwise, it’s innocent until proven … Republican.'
3. Democrat 'ALL women must be believed' Flip Flop
Democrats, led by Hillary Clinton, declared 'ALL women must be believed' in sexual misconduct accusations....until it involved her husband or Democrats like Al Franken....that's when the flip-flopping and abandoning of that slogan began.
When Democrats in Congress were exposed as having not only having protected sexual predator politicians in Congress but had created a committee in Congress whose wole job was to use tax dollars to pay for the silence of their victims for DECADES, Democrats and their surrogate media quietly down-played the entire scandal while Democrats involved quietly retired, running like rats abandoning a ship.

Time to out all politicians who have paid off allegations
Despite all their hysteria and hyperventilation, don't you get the feeling that at least half of Congress doesn't have the slightest interest in getting to the bottom of all the endemic sexual harassment on Capitol Hill? Brett Kavanaugh, of course, is a different story. He's a Republican, which...


‘Innocent Until Proven Guilty’ Doesn’t Apply to Conservatives | National Review
Senator Mazie Hirono concluded Kavanaugh is more likely to be guilty because he’s a conservative.

But Biden's latest pick wants to strip Americans of their legal / Constitutional Right of 'Innocent until Proven Guilty'.
