Presumption of innocence isn't part of the constitution. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 26/04/2013 09:30:17 PM

There are amendments which imply that concept, but that doesn't make it anything close to having a "basis" in the presumption of innocence. The idea that background checks would sow how infringe on the presumption of innocence is absolutely bizarre. That presumption applies to criminal trials—not to the interpretation of the Bill of Rights.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
