Ugliest take-away from the accuser-v-Kavanaugh hearing last week was the sight of Senate Democrats, virtually all degreed lawyers, spurning presumption of innocence…

…a fundamental concept of rule-of-law. So is burden-of-proof, similarly disregarded.

Hence the ‘ugliest’ assertion: for legal minds to perform such a lawless act can ONLY be because of the political expedience of their disgraceful treatment of Kavanaugh.

NO OTHER REASON IS POSSIBLE.

Did we mention they’re ALL degreed lawyers and legislators who MAKE law?

Presumption-of-innocence and burden-of-proof concepts are not casually disposable commodities. In any other setting, these ‘legislators’ would be up on ethics charges.

Oppose Kavanaugh for ideological reasons…but not for this political ambush.

At the end of the day, American concepts of justice are at stake. For a Senator to vote against Kavanaugh for such politically expedient purposes violates their oath of office.

For those Senators who may have forgotten, they swore to “…support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

Asserting ‘credibility’ to baseless allegations, by spurning rule-of-law ideals for burden of proof and presumption of innocence, does not “bear true faith and allegiance”.

What worse abuse of office could a lawmaker perform…than to TRAMPLE rule-of-law?

Democrat voters once again are faced with a choice – continue voting for such ethically challenged political operatives, or rebuke them…vote GOP…to negate such behavior.

Failing that, Senators/Representatives making public statements to smear Kavanaugh with such ugly tactics should be impeached by the House, and tried by the Senate.

Those accused, of course, would not be eligible to sit as jury in the Senate trial, and as it only seems to be Democrats who have violated their oath, conviction is guaranteed.

If that doesn’t shut down rule-of-law ethics abuse, we don’t know what will.
