Each Friday we highlight a number of important, and often bizarre stories from around the world that my team and I are closely following:

Elizabeth Warren wants to destroy centuries of legal standards

To take your freedom requires more evidence than to take your money. For now.

Criminal convictions depend on the accused being guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. Civil convictions depend only on a preponderance of evidence pointing to guilt.

But Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced a bill last week to apply criminal penalties to corporate executives found civilly liable for company misconduct.

And these criminal penalties would apply regardless of intent. Failure to stop a crime would be considered a crime itself, whether you knew about it or not.

The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers is speaking out against the proposed law, calling it a dangerous attempt to abandon “core principles of criminal law that have been part of the Anglo-American legal tradition for centuries.”

As a former Harvard Law Professor, Warren must understand the implications of this bill. And that makes her a very scary candidate to occupy the oval office.

But what else would we expect from this crop of rising Bolsheviks? Revolutions can’t abide by stale old ideas like rule of law.

Guilty by Accusation until Proven BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the Accused is Innocent. Thus putting the Burden Of Proof on the Defendant rather than the Plaintiff.

Because liberal progressive compassionate dedicated to civil liberties.

Notice how you get the exact opposite of what you vote for these days? Want to lose civil liberties and see a few new wars started? Vote Democratic. Want more government and bigger deficits? Vote Republican.

Why? Because partisans let "their team" get away with murder. If you don't believe me, ask @dannno.

"Anglo-American." Well, see that's the problem right there. That white euro-centric system of law. Whites are bad . Time for something entirely new, don'tcha know. Perhaps a guillotine on a truck bed and kangaroo courts? Well, it's not new, exactly. But, it's been a while.

Is this the thread where we get to thank the retards that voted for her ?

[euphemia]

There is no doubt about whether she lied on job applications.

[DamianTV]

Biggest problem is she legally wants Guilt By Accusation. Which of course, white so guilty immediately comes to mind.

[Anti Globalist]

What a complete and absolute joke she is. Makes me happy knowing she has no chance of ever being president.

[Working Poor]

I hope Trump wouldn't sign this one....

[Origanalist]

So when did 'Lizebeth stop beating her slaves?

Wait, she wants to make it more difficult to convict someone?

Easier to convict corporate executives.

Less

Less difficult. Not like we need an even higher percentage of World Prison Population, currently at 25% and we only have 5% of the world's population.
