Roy Moore 3rd rail?

[Cal20sailor]

I have no interest in fighting with you or making fun of you.

But if you're going to insult me, I'm going to hit back.

I also don't want to fight,  but you're wrong about my test scores.  I graduated 110 of 200 in my HS and went to U-M.  My ex brother in law went to Brown and was encouraged to take a year off after discovering sex during his sophomore year.  

OK, he ended up at Qualcomm and is a multimillionaire, but I still wouldn't fuck his wife.

Premptively discovering sex before getting there was a good idea then. Though cutting loose from the long term HS GF almost put me in the doghouse with your ex-BIL anyway, but I managed it.

Maybe I was confusing you with someone else who was bragging on his test scores the other day.

The Senate will not refuse to seat Moore.

 If he is elected, he will be seated. He may not be appointed to any commitees, but he will still have a vote on the floor.

Agree that the Senate will not refuse to seat him.  In the case of Powell v McCormack, SCOTUS said that if an elected candidate met the Constitutional requirements for holding office (age, residency, citizenship) then he could not be excluded.  The court did make a distinction between excluding him and expelling him, a power that Congress has under article .  Specifically, article 1, section 5:

" Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member. "

Just as an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of Congress says it is, a behavior seriously enough to be expelled would appear to be the same.

Two more come forward.

No way they get 66 to expel him.  56 maybe.  Another five to ten will use the democRAT named ______________ did something worse, and the rest will paint their face red white and blue and support the team.

Excerpt -

Gena Richardson says she was a high school senior working in the men’s department of Sears at the Gadsden Mall when a man approached her and introduced himself as Roy Moore.

“He said, ‘You can just call me Roy,’ ” says Richardson, who says this first encounter happened in the fall of 1977, just before or after her 18th birthday, as Moore, then a 30-year-old local attorney, was gaining a reputation for pursuing young women at the mall in Gadsden, Ala. His overtures caused one store manager to tell new hires to “watch out for this guy,” another young woman to complain to her supervisor and Richardson to eventually hide from him when he came in Sears, the women say.

Richardson says Moore — now a candidate for U.S. Senate — asked her where she went to school, and then for her phone number, which she says she declined to give, telling him that her father, a Southern Baptist preacher, would never approve.

A few days later, she says, she was in trigonometry class at Gadsden High when she was summoned to the principal’s office over the intercom in her classroom. She had a phone call.

“I said ‘Hello?’” Richardson recalls. “And the male on the other line said, ‘Gena, this is Roy Moore.’ I was like, ‘What?!’ He said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m in trig class.’ ”

Richardson says Moore asked her out again on the call. A few days later, after he asked her out at Sears, she relented and agreed, feeling both nervous and flattered. They met that night at a movie theater in the mall after she got off work, a date that ended with Moore driving her to her car in a dark parking lot behind Sears and giving her what she called an unwanted, “forceful” kiss that left her scared. 

“I never wanted to see him again,” says Richardson, who is now 58 and a community college teacher living in Birmingham. She describes herself as a moderate Republican and says she didn’t vote in the 2016 general election or in this year’s Republican Senate primary in Alabama.

You are probably right.  I wonder if there would be 66 votes if the Repubs were defending the majority of Senate sets in 2018 rather than the Dems.

 

[SloopJonB]

Yes you do.  When faced with a losing battle you resort to name calling---------------or play the race card.

What? Are you claiming to have won a battle here? :lol:

You are the definitive unarmed man.

 

[d'ranger]

Nothing worse than a woman's scorn.

A subject you are quite familiar with.

"There's a special place in hell for people who prey on children," Trump told The Associated Press in an interview otherwise focused on tax reform published Wednesday. 
"I've yet to see a valid explanation and I have no reason to doubt the victims' accounts," the first daughter and presidential adviser said.

 

[Bus Driver]

That's a long way from declaring Moore guilty and leaves a lot of wiggle room.  We all just need to be patient and let this unfortunate bump in the road play out.  A public forum is not the proper venue to try Moore in.

"Unfortunate bump in the road".

Let that sink in.

 

[SloopJonB]

I'm a Trump supporter fucking moron ... not a Moore supporter.   Did you see that interview with his lawyer?   OYE!

.... that's like saying Hillary supporters are Weiner supporters.   Thank god Moore is too old to understand twitter, Instagram and snapchat!

FIFY

Quality always shines through.

And from the head of the RSCC:


Appreciate the slow burn.  And if there's a good burn going, you know Lindsay Graham is going to get in on the action:

"I've got a general rule, if you can't be in a mall, you shouldn't be in the Senate,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham

 

[saxdog]

No doubt about that.  I think I posted earlier that if anyone thinks that there were a lot of dangerous looking pussy hats in DC on 1/21/17, check out what happens the day after Moore gets sworn in at the US Senate.  

Now that would be fun to watch.  Who's going to administer the oath of office? Richard Spencer?

Richard Simmons would be more entertaining.
