To #metoo advocates: 1. should Miranda Rights (right against self incrimination) be overturned? 2. Should police no longer be required to obtain judge’s order to wiretap or search
By removing these rights we can put more Guilty in prison.
2/ we’ve built a just society where parents of murdered child see confessed murderer walk free because confession obtained w/o administrating Miranda Rights and DNA evidence thrown out for lack of warrant — these parents leave court room alone heartbroken w/o mob at court doors.
3/ the point of my above 2 tweets is that #Metoomovement must be supported and must be robust but never, never, never at the expense of the Bill of Rights or trampling on one’s individual rights — nothing is greater than those rights is a free and just society.

We once judged politicians for what they do — now we ignore performance and accountability if they virtue signal.
It works.
@JustinTrudeau failed on every file but ok because he lectures on virtue.
2/5 “Virtue Signalling”
Now contrast with @realDonaldTrump successfully delivered and delivering on every campaign promise: 1. NKorea 2. Lowest unemployment 3. Tax reform 4. 4.5% GDP 5. New trade agreements
But @POTUS doesn’t lecture “virtue signalling” so successes ignored
3/5 “Virtue Signalling”
In conclusion- disturbing trend happening where problem solving, success, accountability is no longer the standard- but virtue signalling is
One example is “Global Warming” the greatest abusers (@algore@LeoDiCaprio ) are respected advocates.
