Have we truly tossed the scales of justice out the window and replaced them with guilty until proven innocent?
Absolutely, we've tossed it out. Hell, conservatives, like their theoretical modern liberal counterparts voluntarily relinquish their 5th Amendment daily. Ever hear one of our conservative friends championing background checks before we can exercise our God-given 2nd Amendment? I see it all the time.You're forced to provide evidence against yourself by law. It's gosh darned laughable that the electorate loves them for it, in one breath, then, trurns around and complains about it in the next, I'm sorry, but it is.
Another example would be to try not paying your income taxes. You go to court and you're assumed guilty until proven innocent just by the fact that you have to provide paperwork and documents. You'rep retty much forced to incriminate yourself at the very start of the hearing, actualy before it ever starts. Of course, an uninformed Jury doesn't help matters either.
There's likely many more examples we could similarly recall.
