The idea that “all women must be believed” removes it from that, and presupposes guilt and innocence.
And you are presupposing innocence before any evidence is laid to bear. I myself don't think one phone call to Larry King is enough evidence, and the rightists on this board are presupposing guilt. Both you and they are doing the exact same thing and for the same reason. Presupposition spits in the face of actual justice.
None of you are blameless. None. Of. You.
You have to presuppose innocence. It is the way our justice system works: innocent until proven guilty. Not all countries are like that. I think it is a very important distinction.
And I disagree it spits in the face of justice. Justice is taking the evidence and determining guilt or innocence through a jury system.
But you have to start from a base, either one is innocent and must prove guilt or one is guilty and must prove innocence.
What other base is there?
You mean like with Kavanaugh and Trump?
How can you post this shit?
In our system of justice, you are innocent until proven guilty. The fact that you don't understand that shows why you should be ridiculed and laughed at.
You have serious reading comprehension problems. Here's a start: what have I said about Kavanaugh?
Second - Trump has kind of a bad record behind him, he is known to have made comments about being able to grab women by the *****, he has walked through the model's dressing room while they are dressing, and a he has a number of suits against him - some credible some not. The trouble is with some rich and/or powerful, there are always other possible motives for the accusations but some of these have legs. He has also paid off women.
Kavanaugh has no such record - he (and Ford) were known to have been part of a group of privileged teens that parties and drank heavily in high school when this was claimed to have occurred. Lots of alcohol equals poor memories. I believe Ford in that something occurred but there is no way to say it was Kavanaugh it could have been anyone. And they were minors. Kavanaugh may have rotten political views but his adult life has by all accounts been totally responsible. It should never have been used in his confirmation hearing without first being investigated (it deserved the same thorough investigation as Reade's)
You can't compare Kavanaugh with Trump.
