KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND’S SKEWED SENSE OF FAIRNESS: Sen. Gillibrand (D-NY) is “basically saying that there’s no such thing as an innocent man who has been accused; he’s either found guilty or he gets away with a crime,” Ashe Schow writes at the Washington Examiner:

And let’s take a step back to look at what Gillibrand is really saying here. She’s suggesting that the criminal justice system isn’t easy enough for accusers. Police and juries won’t throw someone in jail based on nothing but an accusation. Therefore, a kinder, gentler justice system needs to exist to do just that. It is that kind of thinking that has prompted more than 70 male students to sue their universities after being expelled and treated like criminals without evidence — and sometimes with evidence that points to a false accusation.

Gillibrand also spoke about “accommodations” for accusers – who she always calls “survivors” or “victims” – in case those awful rapists get away with their crime.

“Only a school can change her class schedule so he’s not sitting next to her in science, to make sure she can have a dorm that’s safe – those are accommodations that can happen,” Gillibrand said.

Everything she says is designed to imply guilt on the part of anyone who is accused. That is about as far from “fairness” as one can get.
