There are many pieces of evidence that can be excluded from a criminal trial, that is not true of a hearing.
What OBW said is true, the hearing is not about "the presumption of innocence" since this is not a criminal trial. No one has been accused of a crime, nor is the purpose to determine if someone is guilty of a crime. For example, with Kavanaugh no one was there to determine if he was guilty of sexual assault, the question before them was "is this a man we want as a Supreme court justice". There are many people who are "innocent" who I don't want as a Supreme court justice. Being "innocent" is not a qualification for the Supreme court (being guilty could be seen as a disqualification though).
Vote for Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court because he is presumed innocent of sexual assault!
Just doesn't work for me.

I never said this. You don't know what you are talking about. That is pure BS!
Actually your last post enumerated most of my position -- Make the accuser liable, handle accusations privately, require two witnesses, etc.
None of this was done. Just a political hit job, as Clarence Thomas said "a high tech lynching."
Lousy-Ford was not a credible witness, rather a serial liar. She even lied about taking airplane flights. She was so stupid that she had no idea how easily this could be checked. She lied about why she was in counseling, she had two front doors installed long before then.
Democrats on the Senate Committee knew she was a false witness, so they desperately looked for other "victims." Sleazy porn lawyer Avenatti to the rescue! And since useful idiots abound in the Democratic Party, surely they will all believe that Miss Swetnick went back ten times to watch Kavanaugh drug and rape high school girls. Thank God some brave soul finally came forward to expose Kavanaugh!
Here is the real situation. Kavanaugh went thru six (then seven) extensive FBI background checks. They found nothing of the sort.
ZNP, zeek, and OBW conveniently leave this out. Kavanaugh had a stellar reputation for decades. Every one who knows him is willing to vouch for his integrity. Every person named by Lousy-Ford as a witness had no recollection of her story. No second witness. Caught lying on numerous occasions. No corroborative evidence. No I don't believe her. Kavanaugh maintains the presumption of innocence until evidence him accountable.
Read the book of Job. Read the book in light of the Kavanaugh hearings. Job was accused of sin, hidden sin, by his close friends and that's supposedly why he was under judgment. Read his responses. Not so pretty at times. An innocent man wrongly accused. An innocent man crying out for justice. In the end an innocent man vindicated by God.
