Presumption

Read a random definition: preexisting condition

A quick definition of Presumption:

Presumption: A legal guess that is made based on some information. Usually, these guesses can be proven wrong with more evidence. Sometimes, these guesses are considered true without any chance to prove them wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

A presumption is a legal assumption that must be made based on certain facts. In most cases, these assumptions can be challenged or disproven with evidence. However, some presumptions are considered to be true without any opportunity for rebuttal.

These examples illustrate how presumptions work in the legal system. The presumption of innocence means that the prosecution must provide evidence to prove the defendant's guilt, rather than the defendant having to prove their innocence. The presumption of paternity means that a man is assumed to be the father of a child if he is married to the mother, but this assumption can be challenged with scientific evidence.

@RightPlant: I mean if you look at last cycle’s numbers, people def got interviews significantly after they applied. The problem I think you may run into is you’re below both medians.

@texaslawhopefully: opportunity missed by not symbolically raising the flag, like: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/sS3ydvEEeQuf5KgeDjEUszPcG70=/0x0:5472x3480/1200x900/filters:focal(2299x1303:3173x2177)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/65103854/shutterstock_406160446.0.jpg or similar iconic symbolism such as trump fist pump after earshot imo
