"...hence this debate is pointless."
Is is pointless. You just don't grasp complexities well. FACT is, MY rights extend to you Boris...... and yours to me.......... and OURS to everybody else..........no matter the context (on U.S. soil) by LAW according to the SCOTUS interpretation of OUR Constitution.
Now WE (all of us) have a BASIC right to the presumption of innocence (No matter HOW obvious You or someone else thinks the matter is!!) UNTIL proven otherwise in a Court of Law........... you know, DUE PROCESS.
Without that Basic right (due process) this is decidedly NOT the U.S. of A. anymore............. it would be like most other countries............ Countries wherein the Citizens aren't the Gov't and essentially have NO Power. You'd think You'd be smart enough to grasp the importance and truth of that........ but you've demonstrated (on these threads) an enormous capacity for devaluing many many hugely important tenets of the American way of life.
Did you even pay attention during basic H.S. history? Why is it that you don't GET what makes us free and OUR COUNTRY the best hope for fair governance in the HISTORY (there's THAT word again!) of this planet.
You'd think somebody of Jewish heritage would know better..............
