Higgins is wonderful, and I believe his concerns are sincere considering his background in law enforcement. I respect, but disagree with his position.
The justice system has had decades to rectify the multitudes of miscarriages of justice surrounding the Epstein affair, and the system has repeatedly stalled, stonewalled, and ignored calls for justice. This pattern of failure will continue unless it is forcibly ended.
Now, actual perpetrators hide under the skirt of Lady Justice while calling for things like "due process," and "protection for victims," as a hypocritical ploy to perpetuate this decades long miscarriage of justice.
Protect the innocent- absolutely yes! But we as a society can no longer sit back and continue to allow the guilty to use those people as hostages, and human shields to hide from justice. No more. Rip the bandage off.
And, if that does indeed cause further injuries, then be certain to inflict extra harsh punishments on the guilty!
This is going to sound like I'm typing in circles but I agree with that also. The way I see it: The victims have came forward and said release it all, I don't think they really care at this point but I have no way of actually knowing that. If it were me voting, I would have voted "yay" for the same reasons you've listed.
I believe it will get amended in the Senate, pass as amended, then the House will once again pass it with the amendments.
