She didn't give out the names to her therapist in 2012.
Innocent until proven guilty should apply both to kavanaugh and christina.
What are you talking about?
Dr Ford is not being asked to prove her innocence, she is being asked to prove that her allegation are true.
It is only important, and right, that we presume Kavanaugh is innocent at this stage.
You mean she's being asked to prove that she's not a liar.
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 prosecution must, in most cases prove that the accused is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If reasonable doubt remains, the accused must be acquitted.
Why dont you feel sorry for him? hes accused with absolutely NO evidence.

No, you're an idiot for doing what the MSM and Liberal entertainers are doing....convicting him of a crime without due process and completely ignoring the fact, that in this country we are INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY. By the way, where is the outrage at CORY BOOKER who's still on the Senate, even though he admitted to trying to grope the breast of a girl? Is it because he's a Democrat and the Liberal press, including people like you, are giving him a free pass?

Good thing you're not a lawyer. LOL
Testimony IS evidence, and in criminal court, which this is not, it get's people convicted all the time.

After the way Republican Congress ran the clock out on Garland, do you seriously think the Democrats would not try the same thing, given how soon the mid-terms are? Kavanaugh should have said "no, thank you." If he does get confirmed, he would need to recuse himself from any case the Trump administration is involved in or he would get impeached. Can you imagine what Trump would say about him if he did recuse himself?

You're innocent until proven guilty in COURT. If he actually did this he' s guilty in the here and now its just not proven. And its not ever going to court.
He is an imperfect candidate. Now there is doubt. Time to find a new nominee. This guy isnt it. Its not like hes the last judge in the world. There are others. There is no rush. Its a lifetime appointment. Find someone without the uncertainty.

Yes...…..it is...……………….no matter how much you protest, there are people sitting in prison because of testimonial evidence.

Dude, where is her official sworn testimony under penalty of perjury? She has not provided this to the Senate Committee at this time.
So your excuse is "because Garland, so I dont feel bad at all for a potentially innocent man at all or his family"
