Liberals have been taking failed swipes at Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos over Title IX for some time now, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein has joined those who are just begging to be reality checked:
(1/2) Sec. DeVos is putting rights of the accused above those of sexual assault victims. Absolutely unconscionable. https://t.co/cx4aMYH0F0
— Senator Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) September 22, 2017
(2/2) I’ll continue to work in the Senate to protect victims of campus sexual assault. We can’t give up the fight. #TitleIX
— Senator Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) September 22, 2017
Ugh! First of all:
Rights are not zero sum. If protecting the victim's rights necessarily involves curtailing the accused's rights, then the system is broken. https://t.co/utfGVFxUue

If they're "accused" then there is only an "accuser," not a "victim" yet. Both have equal rights, psycho. https://t.co/2dClNGmbT2

The rights of the accused are LAW in the US Constitution (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 14th). Do she not know that or does she not care? https://t.co/dmBhaRaInm

Feinstein’s criticism is even more frightening coming from a lawmaker unwittingly exposing her own constitutional ignorance:
not believing in due process is unconscionable. https://t.co/o8KGALKqL9

Senator Feinstein is openly hostile to due process.
No wonder she gets on well with @SenKamalaHarris. https://t.co/8U1BbMUUxu

Highly irresponsible of Sen. Feinstein, who is in position to explain the importance of due process to her constituents. https://t.co/CSrRJWM41p

Gauranteeing the Rights of the Accused to a Fair Hearing is one of the Bedrock Principles of Western Civilization. https://t.co/jXdNQbC7yC

Sen. Feinstein, it seems, has already decided the accused are guilty; she deems campus accusers "victims."https://t.co/V1fI4MzRMg

When a US Senator betrays her oath to the Constitution – which includes 4th 6th & 14th amendments, THAT is unconscionable. #ResignFeinstein https://t.co/piqeEj3pVf

Perhaps Feinstein would have a different opinion under another scenario:
So if I alleged that Sen. Feinstein molested me when I was 10, would she agree that my rights as a "victim" take precedent over hers? https://t.co/ZeqBHgtf0c
