Suddenly, the presumption of innocence is the most important law
As I thought they would, once the indictments of Libby came, a key repuke talking point became "innocent till proven guilty".

I knew they'd use that. What I didn't know was that the first one to use it would be Junior Himself. Ha ha ha ha ha! Hey, Junior--go ask Jose Padilla what he thinks of the presumption of innocence! Go ask Stephen Hatfill!

yeah, Paula Jones and Monica and Kathleen Willey had a LOT to do with NATIONAL SECURITY, oh yeah!

3. I know and so is "due process" forget about all those who are
being held without it and those who have been held without it for years now.
