You've refused to acknowledge all the circumstances surrounding this case.
Reminds me of how much evidence you dismissed with regard to the Russian collusion story that isn't a thing.

Absolutely not, it's an asinine concept with no basis of enforcement within the Constitution.

Enforcement? No I’m speaking about rational human beings considering someone’s guilt or innocence.
How do you determine someone’s guilt or innocence?
Ever been on jury duty? That's how you determine someone else's guilt or innocence.
Uh, in a court of law. Where the hell else would you do it?

Many wrongfully imprisoned people would disagree with you.
Ah, a litigious man. I bet if someone stole your cookie you’d need a jury to tell you who did it. Frightening.

Which is why due process doesn't end with a conviction or imprisonment. Many people wrongly imprisoned are now free and able to seek restitution for the wrong done. But this isn't even relevant to your pedantic argument about due process.

I don't eat cookies, juries don't investigate theft, that would be law enforcement and you didn't answer my question. How do you get due process without the judiciary?

You afford him the same rights as if it was a judiciary.
Rather than being swayed by the court of public opinion, we act reasonable, fairly, and justly towards the accused. Why wouldn’t you do that.

Not surprising, when many of your posts demonstrate that very point about yourself.
Oh no! You I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I'd me twice in a row! *cry*

That's awfully (and abruptly) dismissive of trial by jury.
And I think you're trying to have your cookie and eat it too. I bet if someone stole your cookie and you saw who did it, you wouldn't let the lack of bodycam footage stop you from telling the Senate Judiciary Committee that the nominee before them was a goddamn cookie thieving sonofawhore.

I never said nor implied the court of opinion was a real court.
I’m saying a man’s reputation, his future, his familiy’s future, is being destroyed without applying process of determining whether doing so is justified, without due process.
This process can be applied by any man, group of men, any society, and it has been for centuries, so much so that it is codified into law.
Whether you will or not is up to you, but I can see you’ve used more superficial complaints to guide your thinking.

Maybe but I bet most of us would remember which day of the week they stole our cookie. Probably where we were when it happened. Hell, most of us would have witnesses from yelling profanity at the person who stole our cookie. But hey..it's delicious cookies and not something unimportant as sexual assault right?

Not me, I tend to mark those down on my calendar which I save in a neatly organized pile in case future generations needs to know the truth.
