Roy Moore accused of sexual abuse

Doesn't matter. He will vote for capital gains tax cuts.

They should have gone with Big Huge Luther. He was the prince on the shining horse who could have saved us all. Alabama and America didn't deserve the greatness of Big Huge Luther.

Put him in one cell with Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. Perhaps Carson's theory will come true!

Hey, is this a situation where the Senate may choose to not swear Moore in? I know we talked about this for Gianforte in the House, which of course didn't happen, but I mean that was just for punching a guy. This is a whole other level of disgusting offenses.

I am impressed with the fact that the 'voting rights' party is skipping over the minor detail of losing the elections and directly proceeding to schemes to simply steal it.

But no, if Powell v McCormack holds, losers of elections are not permitted to do such a thing, at least in the House. Such logic almost surely carries over to Senate elections.

All Powell v McCormack bars is refusing to seat a duly-elected scumbag.  It placed zero limitation on the Constitutional authority of a house to expel a scumbag upon a two-thirds vote.  So if Moore does end up being expelled, it'll be because at minimum fifteen Republican Senators vote to expel him, fewer than that if he's expelled in the next Congress.

Would the Democrats even expel him? I'm not sure what senate Democrats think but most Democrats on here seem to be fine with the crazies taking over the GOP.

Moore is a rapist and a pedo but muh wall muh immigration muh trade dealz (and muh capital gains taxes). Then again, I'm an enormous hypocrite since I literally backed a corrupt presidential candidate in France because of tax cuts and labour market deregulation .

At this stage I think the most likely explanation is that Roy Moore thinks of himself as a modern day Joseph who will give birth to the reincarnation of Jesus (or actually God will do it) if he marries a 15-year old girl. Alabama surely is a wonderful place filled with wonderful people, but inbreeding usually isn't a good idea.
