Absolutely, “Then the charges are slander and defamation and should be prosecuted.” But they will be swept under the rug in the name of restoring civility. Justice will be denied, unfortunately.

This ingrate clearly doesnt understand that we civilized people would like to live by a higher standard than to be regulated by the government not to destroy one another.

He is pure evil

Sorry, but the courts have long held that anyone in a civil governmental hearing or investigation is entitled to due process. Look at what the dems are saying - an illegal non citizen alien is entitled to due process but not a candidate for the Supreme Court.

If you are not going to file charges of sexual harassment to be dealt with in a court of law, then you have absolutely no business making public accusations to be tossed about in the court of public opinion.

Technically correct.

That said, the correct standard was (and is) “preponderance of the evidence.” Because it’s usually impossible to prove a negative, especially when “where, when, with whom” are not reliably specified by the accuser. Kavanaugh won by that standard, too. And it wasn’t even close.

Cuomo admits it was a kangaroo court.

Kangaroo Court

[Slang of U.S. origin.] An unfair, biased, or hasty judicial proceeding that ends in a harsh punishment; an unauthorized trial conducted by individuals who have taken the law into their own hands, such as those put on by vigilantes or prison inmates; a proceeding and its leaders who are considered sham, corrupt, and without regard for the law.

Just because it is not a court does not mean baseless accusations must be accepted as fact.

So, if someone comes forward with an accusation that Chris Cuomo raped her as a 7-year-old girl 15 years ago and he is forced to leave CNN based on the accusation alone, that’s OK, because after all, it’s “not a court of law.”

Everyone here understands the origin of “presumption of innocence”, right?

It’s a huge irony.

No it was not a court case. It was merely a hearing before the Senate Judiciary committee and who would expect due process rights to apply to an august deliberative body such as that. /s/

Cuomo is right. This was politics..brutally pure and simple.
Problem with these MSM guys is, they do not recognize that Americans have an innate sense of fairness. We see it. We feel it. We experience it. and we act on unfairness.
MSM can use whatever weasel words they want, but...Americans don’t play that game.

Al Gore’s sighing during the debates flipped my wife from a Goreon to a Bushie...she’s never looked back. She is now rapid Repub, to the point I have to keep washing the spittle off the tv screen.

Yeah - libel and slander are perfectly fine against a conservative as long as you’re not going to take it to court....

Cuomo's remarks echoed comments made by some Democratic senators, such as Sen. Mazie Hirono (Hawaii) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) during Kavanaugh's confirmation fight.

Mere accusations in Soviet Russia destroyed lives and careers. During the French Revolution, mere accusations resulted in the decapitation of many innocent people.

Accusations are a tool of Communists. Today's power hungry Democrats support communism.
