quote:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said during a Tuesday press conference that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh does not have the fundamental principle of being innocent until proven guilty in regard to the sexual misconduct allegations levied against him.


quote:

“This is standard operating procedure, and the question looms: Why are Republicans deviating from here? This is not a criminal trial,” he stated. “This is not a … this is to find the facts. You have two diametrically opposed stories, and there are two issues: A, which story is right, and if — if — Dr. Ford is telling the truth, then Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility is in great question.”

When asked if he agreed with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s saying Kavanaugh deserved to be viewed as innocent, Schumer said, “I agree that we — this is not, that’s a criminal trial. What I believe is, we ought to get to the bottom and find the facts in the way that the FBI has always done. There’s no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you.”

Schumer is not the only Democrat who has assumed Kavanaugh’s guilt despite the presumption of innocence. Sen. Mazie Hirono said he couldn’t be trusted and doesn’t deserve to be viewed as innocent until proven otherwise because she doesn’t trust his view on abortion.

When did Kavanaugh lose his rights as a citizen? Hell they even give that right to non-citizens in this country.

I can actually respect the fact that Shchumer will at least be honest about that.

He is an ultra un-American SOB, but at least he isn't lying about it.

It matters not that this isn’t a criminal matter.

To not at least tangentially abide to the spirit of our process regarding accusations is a path to chaos not only in our political system but in our society at large.

Accusers must be required to provide evidence.

Otherwise, we might as well be Salem, Mass.

Tell us, Chuck, you week-old shitstain, how will you know if Ford is telling the truth or if Kavanaugh is?

She made the allegation. She needs to prove it; otherwise, this is slander of the highest order.

I saw some where else that someone was using this talking point: that it is not a trial so he is not innocent until proven guilty.

RBG refused to answer social or religious views. She told them all to frick off. Kav did so in a kinder way and they are seething.

Can we start loading the board with stones until Schumer enters a plea?

Guilty and his property is forfeit.

Innocent, and found guilty, and his property is forfeit.

Or he can sit there and be pressed to death by rocks.
