Every Senator or Senate candidate (federal or state) who sits in a judicial confirmation should get an exam of their sexual life back to the age of 16. Cory Booker is a good example of the hypocrisy we're looking for. Once determined they should be banned from confirmation hearings.

Would be a good start. Their entire background should be thoroughly checked before they are ever even on a ballot. Sex crimes, affiliations with hate groups, fraud or bribery ect should automatically disqualify them from even being eligible.

For everyone in congress, sc, and top positions in the United States.

at the age of 18, minor records are sealed. There is scientific evidence that says the decision making part of your brain that makes decisions based on rationality and reason is not developed till at least 18 but the part that makes decisions based on impulses and emotion is fully developed at around puberty.
 
Why waste all that effort like having elections at all?

Just have the FBI pick all members of Congress, all federal judges and the President, plus all officers of all political parties and the head of every government department plus all Cabinet members - until the appropriate changes can be made to the Constitution to eliminate all of that and just have the FBI run the entire government and pick from themselves who will do so.

The exam should be totally public and all allegations should be thoroughly investigated via Twitter and Facebook. Claims that can't be proved should just be deemed "likely true". A defensive claim of "I didn't do it" or "that wasn't me" or "I didn't even live there at that time" should all be treated as lies subject to penalties of perjury.
 
Questions kind of rediculous because what if people WANT someone who sexually assaults women as their leader... Like Republicans did in 2016?

They should be free to do so.

That should include any known associates (from the age of 16) that have ever had any allegations of wrongdoing as well. We can't let just anyone elected have the full powers of their office.

Likely true can be determined by a poster having more than three 'likes' (in a 10 year period). Absolutely no denials should be considered - obviously, those are lies intended to deceive the public.

Id say its the democrats who want sexual assaulters-the evidence in 92 that clinton did such things was far greater than the evidence in 2016 that Trump did

Clinton being a dirtbag doesn't excuse Trump. That is a pathetic excuse. OJ got away with murder too - doesn't make it ok for others to commit murder.

Only if the jury decides that way. If the old dried up glove no longer fits then you must acquit - look it up.
 
A candidate could come out of a background check clean as a whistle, but years later a disgruntled female could just make stuff up and he would be ruined after all.

"Trump 2020: Possibly...Maybe...A Bit Less Of A Sexual Predator Than Clinton!"

Or...

"Trump 2020: Sure, He's A Sexual Predator, But He's OUR Sexual Predator!"

I voted no. Their sex life isn't important.

However, I would support a criminal check, including looking into the likelihood of new allegations that could distract the candidate from doing their job. You could look for things like violent crimes, fraud, drug related crimes, theft...and rape, statutory rape, and sexual harassment.

Seems reasonable, no?

So you said no before you said yes, but voted no.

Why would any rational person think that's a good idea?

What an asinine suggestion.

Only if you believe rape, statutory rape, and sexual harassment, or allegations of rape, statutory rape, and sexual harassment, are part of a normal sex life... :shrug:

Why stop there?
Why not vet all civil servants that way and all recipients of government funding?

Nonsensical. Nobody "wants" sexual assault. The question should be whether or not sexual assault matters...


- Bill Clinton is evidence that Democrats once abided sexual misconduct for team, especially when feminists rallied to his defense in 1999.

- Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, and Bill Clinton are evidence that Republicans once demanded personal responsibility for sexual misconduct.


Skip past eight years of right-wing media engineered bitterness and irrational hate towards Obama and we find Republicans enthusiastically embracing Donald Trump and Roy Moore. And now with Kavanaugh as seemingly the only conservative judge on the planet? In a time where liberals have brought down Hollywood royalty and DNC politicians have been widely chastised by their peers (quit, not seeking re-election, etc.), the moral high ground appears to have flipped. Long gone are the conservatives who once blistered right-wing religious evangelicals for their moral depravity and for betraying their position as representatives.
