But here's the thing. I just watched a segment in which Nancy Pelosi talked about how John Conyers deserved DUE PROCESS with respect to the allegations that have been made about him re: sexual misconduct. After that clip Mika came in to reiterate the importance of DUE PROCESS: "Look, I think it's really important that the words DUE PROCESS have come up in this conversation . . . . "
Venisoon after M. Joe himself jumped onboard that argument.
And I could not agree more. I don't know what Justice is if it doesn't begin with a presumption of innocence, continue through DUE PROCESS, and end with the fairest verdict it's possible to achieve.
But, perhaps unfortunately, that means we have to make that Justice available to everyone, not just the people we like.
I haven't heard anyone argue about DUE PROCESS for Roy Moore. And it's just hypocrisy, and that will be the death not only of Pete Townshend, but of all of us. And of Justice as well.
Caveat emptor.
