The authors are not "liberals" or part of "the left." The argument is based on a (self-described) CONSERVATIVE interpretation of the role of the courts.  Most significant to me is the argument that the confirmation now has a symbolic force beyond one man's qualifications. It has become a statement about how we, as a nation, will regard allegations of sexual assault going forward.

I'll add you with Fred who assert the presumption of innocence is not a basic human right. Even thought the UN passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights over a 1/2 Century ago which states: It is a basic human right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law. 

Why do you, Fred, and others deny Kavs this basic human right?
