New accuser steps forward in Roy Moore case

That was a hilarious justification. "Pardon me, ma'am, I'm a 32 year-old man. I think your teenage daughter is real purty."

Seriously?

"Why don't you have a seat over there Mr. Moore."

And yet again, you don't read before you post:

"Allred says that Nelson is "willing to testify under oath" to the statements she provides on Monday against Moore. Allred called for the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold a public hearing where Nelson would voluntary appear and testify before lawmakers on the incident."

It's in the link in the OP.

No time to read carefully!

Must. Rage. About. Liberals.

Now THAT would be a hilarious video.

And Moore's base would still support him.

I believe it is time to abandon the debate of women, and men, coming forward with new allegations.

Let's be honest, we men, whether having tried any of this shirt or not, have known about it all our lives. It's a fact of our society, we even include scenes of this in films and television shows, often showing the woman going along with it to advance her career.

It's that we have to move on, the acceptance we have allowed is the crime.

Now, we need these guys in prison and broke, careers destroyed while we move on to a national dialogue. Let be obvious that in the future "buying off' the victim won't be enough, and never again will the United States ever elect a president who admitted to it. If THAT didn't embolden some of these slime boys (they sure as **** aren't men) then I have no idea what would.

We need to make it illegal to "settle out of court". If a poor person rapes a women and goes to jail, so should a rich guy. This would also remove any fiscal incentive for gold-diggers to fabricate any such false allegations.

We need to quit pretending that our justice system is blind. It see's money just fine. Time to root that out.

Who cares? I really don't understand this last ditch effort to blame the victim.

I know, we really should hear what these underage sluts have to say about their little accusations about Roy Moore.

In the mean time, here's to hoping all that liberal scum in Hollywood get what they deserve for their sexual advances and inappropriate behaviors on those defenseless victims!

(Sorry, I'm in a sarcastic scotch-induced mood).

Testify under oath? In what proceeding? Statute of limitations would've long since expired for this alleged incident. :roll:

True. So Moore will not be facing time in prison. He likely will, however, face time not in the Senate.

Because thanks to Harvey Weinstein (and others) and the Washington Post investigating the "rumors", its safe now. Prior to the WaPo article that showed there were "others", it wasn't safe to stand alone against a judge. Now it is. I am not sure why that is a surprise to you.

Because now is the time of #MeToo. Because the man who assaulted her is trying to gain a seat of national power he doesn't deserve. Because other women have come forward with similar tales and that may give her strength. Because even today, idiots will still blame her and cast aspersions at her for no reason better than because the man who allegedly assaulted her as a R behind his name. Because she wanted to today.

Tell me why it matters when she discussed when she was assaulted? Unless you have a partisan hack reason, it shouldn't matter when she came forward, only whether or not it happened. So, tell me...why does it matter when she came forward?

I couldn't agree more.

In another thread I actually endorsed castration and/or whippings. I had never thought much about it until I got sober years ago and began meeting women who have been raped and the absolute sexual/social hell they live in.

Terrorists will be terrorists, its the new reality but we CAN deal with rapists

Probably the same thing that has them all coming out all over the place right now. When it comes to the more powerful, who can crush you, who would even care? Of course, selectively rolling our eyes at the accusers of certain people like say...Trump or Roy Moore...is exactly the type of dismissal she would have expected even six months ago.

Sarcasm do0esn't translate well on the net.....I am glad I read through, I suggest you either lay off the scotch or the sarcasm because the mix was near fatal there for a sexc
 
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., has issued a statement:
"I believe the individuals speaking out against Roy Moore spoke with courage and truth, proving he is unfit to serve in the United States Senate and he should not run for office. If he refuses to withdraw and wins, the Senate should vote to expel him, because he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate."

Members of Congress may be involuntarily removed from office before the normal expiration of their constitutional terms by an “expulsion” from the Senate (if a Senator) or from the House of Representatives (if a Representative) upon a formal vote on a resolution agreed to by two-thirds of the membership of the respective body who are present and voting. The United States Constitution expressly provides at Article I, Section 5, clause 2, that: “Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member.”

Then also there's the aspect that these women came out now because of his actions, they don't want him making laws about their or anyone else's lives.

I think this is an important point on a lot of legal issues.

When we have this difference between how the wealthy get away with these things, and how the average person is treated, obviously it's not justice. But aside from the obvious, it is a drag on our entire culture. This goes for many issues, not just sex crimes.

What happens is that the wealthy and powerful, who are typically also politically powerful through donations, connections, or are politicians themselves, have little to no incentive to ensure laws are fair and reasonable, because for them none of it matters anyway? So we may have laws that are too tightly wound for the average person, but there will be less wealthy/powerful pressure brought to bear on it because they just pay it all off behind the scenes anyway with high dollar attorneys ensuring it's air tight and non-public. They are essential to helping shape our system, but if they are constantly making up their own rules, it's a problem for everyone else.

We see that in drug laws too, the ones that affect the lower income folks, insanely harsh. Who cares? The wealthy get off of most, and those that don't, they often have much reduced charges for the drugs they are caught with. So the wealthy person getting unfair treatment isn't even the biggest harm to the nation, it's that they have little to no incentive to help correct/shape those laws in general.

In any case, I think any time we allow dramatic differences in our creation, enforcement, or judgement of laws, we risk that sort of imbalance.

Perhaps the trick is to announce sarcasm...and then commence to sarcas.

Because I ain't laying off the scotch!

(Um...there was no sarcasm in this one.)
