Regardless of the standard required for "burden of proof," there is still a standard. Whether criminal or civil court, the accused is still innocent until proven guilty.

Kavanaugh was not entitled to a criminal or civil trial to prove his innocence. No one has demanded that. That is classic straw man defense. His judge, his defense and prosecution attorneys, and his jury was the US Senate, operating under their constitutional duty to advise and consent. The Senate has already made the rules for how nominees will be handled in their Court. Feinstein broke those rules and should be disciplined.

Once society removes the presumption of innocence, we have totalitarian anarchy. If every accusation is to be believed without facts, witnesses, or evidence, what a sad day that will be in America. Communist dictators behaved this way and millions died. How unfortunate that none of the other posters here is able to understand this. What happened to you all?
