uh huh, but now the post that was being quoted is saying "Hopepefully ford and the democrats like finestein get some punishment for making false acusations." so now the burden of proof is on the person saying they made false accusations. Presumably they are also innocent until proven guilty.

You should have probably keeped reading that it was clarified. Jail time was not what I claimed should happen. I said they draged through the mud kavanaughs name so feinteins name should also be draged throw the mud.

Well if "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply when jail time is not involved then what's the problem with the accusations? I don't recall jail time being on the table for Kavanaugh. Don't believe the hearing was "supreme court or prison". So you should have had no issue with Kavanaugh's name being dragged through the mud considering you want to do the same to Ford now. 

Also, I read through the thread, but how was I meant to realize that the person who quoted a response to your statement was actually trying to respond to the response of the further clarified intent of that quote? Don't see why you would assume that to be the case. 

Finally, this whole argument has been about how these kind of proceedings should have innocent until proven guilty regardless of whether or not there's a criminal proceeding, but now you hope that others get punished without giving them the same benefit of the doubt. Sounds pretty hypocritical to me.
