A New Low for America – Until November

The following is taken directly from Wikipedia:

“The presumption of innocence is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty. It was traditionally expressed by the Latin maxim ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (“the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies”).

In many states, presumption of innocence is a legal right of the accused in a criminal trial, and it is an international human right under the  UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 11. Under the presumption of innocence, the legal burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which must collect and present compelling evidence to the trier of fact. The trier of fact (a judge or a jury) is thus restrained and ordered by law to consider only actual evidence and testimony presented in court. “

The assumption of innocence is a core value of America (in fact of all free people across the globe). However, several of our Democrat Senators have denounced this core value as not applicable to the review of Judge Kavanaugh’s qualification to become a justice of the Supreme Court. The Senators claim that the Judicial Committee’s hearings are not a court of law but rather a job interview. This is no excuse to ruin a man’s reputation, bring harm to his family, and disgrace to our entire nation. The issues brought forth are not issues of qualification, they are criminal allegations being tried in public by Senators based on the principles of the #metoo and #ibelievethesurvivers “social justice” movements. It is mob rule being fomented and strengthened by a few of the most powerful people in America – Senators.

A candidate for the Supreme Court must demonstrate that he has the character, intellect, knowledge of law, and the proper demeanor to apply the law in a fair manner. Demonstrating character is done by showing your life’s work, not by proving the negative of anyone that pounces on the confirmation process to have their moment of fame. I am sorry but waiting 36 years to pronounce horrible allegations against another is wrong. Dr. Ford may very well have been accosted. The other two women who have made allegations may also have had horrible experiences. Probably by someone other than Judge Kavanaugh. But, their vague memories of the reported events loudly point the need for the accusers to bear the burden of proof. Furthermore, the probabilities of three woman all having repressed memories regarding the same person that surface at the perfect time to benefit the Democrats is just too much to believe.

The disgrace is that the Democrats are gleefully profiteering on these unproven allegations. The Democrat Senators have proven that they do not have the qualifications of character, intellect, knowledge of the law, and the required demeanor to properly conduct the Constitutional advice and consent. Had they possessed these qualifications, they would have acted sooner and with discretion until and if the allegations had some semblance of credibility. Senator Feinstein sat on the first allegation for at least six weeks before allowing the accusers letter to be leaked. The Senators did not protect the candidate from horrible attacks on his reputation. The Senators failed to perform, or to have performed by a delegate, any investigation into the allegations before making them public for the world to see. This was purposefully done to create a #metoo and #ibelievethesurvivers frenzy that has tried and convicted the Judge based on nothing. A ditty Senator stating that she believes Dr. Ford does not validate anything that Dr. Ford as asserted. A half-dozen Democrat Senators stating that Judge Kavanaugh bears the burden of disproving the allegations is an affront to our core American values. How long do the Democrats want to drag this confirmation process out? Long enough for another dozen or so not-so-credible women to report vague reports? Gather enough maybe-he-did-it stories (but I can’t really remember if it was him or him and 2 other guys or maybe not him at all) and his life will be over. No Supreme Court, no more DC District Court, nothing.

The Democrats are orchestrating this circus to stop a good man from being appointed to the Supreme Court and they think this will help them in the polls in November.

Our Democrat Senators have not demonstrated the character, intellect, knowledge of law and demeanor to privately investigate the horrible allegations? Who will every want to be nominated to be a Justice of the Supreme Court after this disgraceful act of politics. Yes, I believe this is a tactical ploy to energize the far-left wing loony-toons based on “social justice.” I am sick and tired of “social justice” being used as the justification to forgo individual justice. Forgo enough individuals’ justice and pretty soon it scales to the level of social injustice even for a Democrat. Individual and social justice should not be two separate concepts. However, when you view the world from the Democrat’s perspective of identity politics, it seems that sacrificing a good man’s life to sooth a group of man-hating women is the required retribution for past “social injustices.” If that sounds sexists, I do not apologize. The current state of craziness must be called what it is – wrong. The identity politics that all white men are bad is wrong. But as one of our esteemed Senators from Hawaii has stated, white men should shut up and step up. Isn’t that lovely? Yes, since I am a man, I really have no right to an opinion here.

To my dear Democrat Senators: Americans will be more stirred up to oppose the political tactics of hate that you are enacting than will be stirred to promote more hate. More Americans will vote to bring America back the common sense that we are all (regardless of our sex or race) innocent until proven guilty. That means, come November, you lose.
