Rejecting Doubtful Evidence
The presumption of evidence is being touted as uniquely American or a founding tenet of Western thought. It is important indeed to Western jurisprudence, but its provenance spans thousands of years. Wikipedia notes how the Romans expressed it: “ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat” (“the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on ( Read more... )
Nonsense. He is being tried on the world stage in front of millions with people encouraged by the Left to hate him, and he and his family regularly receive death threats. And from the Left, who have demonstrated the capacity to carry out such things. Why is he the subject of all of this vile rancor? Because he was nominated by Trump.
Would you give a prospective treasurer or CEO for your company the benefit of doubt, too?
You are confusing "benefit of doubt" with "presumption of innocence." I have hired executives, and one in particular was blasted by her former superior, the CEO of another company. I hired her anyway, as I realized that the other CEO was lying and had some sort of psychological problem. This was to my great benefit.
If there were a person claiming under threat of perjury and destruction of his/her career that the prospective treasurer/CEO was involved in shady business practice in the past?
We have no such situation here. Blasey is under "threat" only of being famous, getting endless book deals and media appearances, and raking in potfuls of money from leftists. That last of course is already happening.
Her story is carefully crafted to be nearly impossible to catch her in a perjury charge. There is no evidence to support her story at all, and details that are known to be false, and witnesses she relies on who deny her story outright. There is nothing there but partisan hatred.
This is not the FBI's "job." They aren't even talking to Blasey. What could even the appropriate law enforcement folks do? There are no facts to pursue. Nothing to check out.
The Left is attempting to establish a precedent that any nominee can be stopped by a bogus allegation. That must not be allowed to stand.
