I don’t know what the age of consent is, or was, in Alabama///

I was wondering about that also.

I don’t think a lawyer and an ADA would have transgressed with that, at the time.

If Roy Moore wins, it will mean his constituents either don’t believe or don’t care about the woman who says Moore assaulted her when she was 16, or the woman who says Moore kissed and touched her when she was 14, or the women who say Moore kept approaching them at the mall when they were teenagers.

...or, they are publicity whores looking for their 15 minutes of fame at a good man's expense. First clue is hiring gloria allred.

I would be more inclined to give the ladies some credence had the attack not been right before the election, when it was too late to change the ballots. And had we not fully expected some kind of dirty trick right before the election. And had there been even a whiff of impropriety about Judge Moore in the last 40 years otherwise.

Good point. With Gloria Allred, the question for me is always who hired who.

I keep remembering the famous Dan Rather fake document. And the fake pissgate dossier. Its not like the press isn’t above making stuff up out of whole cloth.

If this is the setup that we all think it is, I’m sure that the accusation from the alleged-14yo is meant to be the ‘kill shot’. The others were more to establish a pattern. So I’m ** guessing** that the Alabama age of consent at the time was 16.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. The Vox shill who wrote this op-ed naturally started out with Roy Moore and Alabama, but at least got it right (”voters either don’t believe or don’t care”).

“If Roy Moore wins, it will mean his constituents either don’t believe or don’t care about the woman who says Moore assaulted her when she was 16...”

Note that they don’t give the THIRD OPTION, the one that both Governor Ivey and President Trump support REGARDLESS of what they think of Moore (although Trump correctly believes Moore is being set up)...that THIRD OPTION is keeping the seat REPUBLICAN.

But they figure the people in Alabama are TOO STUPID to realize that those are the stakes.

This is how the Left works...they NEVER want to give us credit for actually wanting what’s best for the country, and instead expect us to only choose from THEIR OPTIONS.

isn’t it amazing that democRATS glorify free sex, homosexuals, transgenders, Bisexuals, etc.etc,etc. They teach it in schools and college campuses. You can’t even watch a movie or show on TV anymore with some reference to LGBTQxyz.

And they wonder why all of this is happening.

Not sure about age of consent but...
“””Back in May 2001, a bill was introduced into the Alabama Senate that sought to raise the age a person can marry from 14 years-old to 16. But during a late night filibuster, the bill failed to pass.”””


It passed in 2003 and was raised to 16yo.

As John Conyers’s attorney so aptly said, “while these allegations are serious, they are simply allegations,” the statement said. “If people were required to resign over allegations, a lot of people would be out of work in this country including many members of the House, Senate and even the president.”

If the presumption of innocence should apply to anyone, it should to a former Alabama State Supreme Court Justice.

Al Frankenstein is DONE—The little button has popped out, take him out of the oven and stick a fork in him. Maybe he can get a show on MSNBC?

It used to be that the MSM could continue reporting a lie and people would believe it. With the advent of FREE REPUBLIC and similar sites, TEXTING,TWITTER, and social media, most already know the fact before it is reported.

DECEIT and BLATANT LIES are the reasons MSM is scorned and rapidly becoming a non entity.
