Presumptions of guilt do not serve justice, they inevitably lead to false accusations and ruined lives.
It needs a set of guiding principles that offer the right of due process to both the unimpeachably guilty and the wrongly accused. That's the foundation that gives verdicts their weight.

But that basic code is not how Democrats have been inclined to treat sexual assault or harassment allegations since the #MeToo movement was sparked in 2017, or even before that. "I believe Dr. Ford" in support of Christine Blasey Ford, who accused conservative then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school.
