The Senate refused to seat Roland Burris - appointed to Obama’s senate seat by Rod Blagojevich.
I probably should have qualified my statement that the Senate could try and not seat Moore. They would probably lose on appeal.

rockrr- you are most correct.

the house refused to seat Adam Clayton Powell and Powell sued. SCOTUS ruled in Powell’s favor. The house could only consider constitutional qualifications for office.

State
Interim Gub. Appt.?
Special Election Must be Held

Alabama

Yes

On such a day as the governor may direct, unless vacancy occurs between 2 and 4 months before the next regularly-scheduled general election, in which case it is held at that election. If vacancy occurs within 60 days of the next regularly-scheduled general election, a special election must be held on the first Tuesday after 60 days have elapsed since the vacancy occurred.

You have posted that exact post on every thread I have read today. Granted, I haven’t been real focused on FR today. What’s the deal?

I’m not against what you have said and I appreciate the defense of a good man againt an obvious republican hatchet job. Do you just cut and paste or do you retype it?

It’s crazy. There are people, on FR, who know nothing of Senator Moore’s past politics. If someone had wanted to get their voice heard and get revenge against a truely guilty man, then the accusations would have come out when Moore was the Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice.

Losing the Senate means that NONE of President Trump’s nominations get approved. Not worth it.

Another Freeper found these posts on the Fox Business Facebook page that was talking about this story:
https://www.facebook.com/FoxBusiness/?ref=br_rs
Post 1: She is a liar. Some of my family was Pastor to her and she is lying 100%. We know her personally... Terrible woman! She lied on several ministers that we know.
Post 2: .... yes, it is very much so a pattern for her! she has went to various churches within our denomination and accused at least three other pastors besides an uncle of ours, making sexual advances at her. Each time that she brought it to the District board for Alabama they found her to be uncredible and she changed her story many times. Additionally, she tried to sue a pastor in one of the sections within our denomination and the Circuit Judge would not hear the case. This was around 2007 this particular incident took place.
Post 3: Our section Presbyter has been notified and has notified the proper authorities! She is 100% uncredible. This is just an attack on a good Christian man, no doubt she was promised some type of monetary benefit for her lies by someone... I know 100% that she is money hungry and I wish I could go into details of the other situations involving the pastor that she accused. I will say this though I can truthfully say that 3 times out of the four times she accused pastors that we know, she attempted to “ Make a Deal” to not go public with the accusation if she would be compensated an x amount of dollars. That is one reason why the Circuit Judge in the Civil Court dismissed her case with prejudice.
It will be pretty easy to search the Alabama Court records to see if that civil suit was filed by the accuser against a pastor around 2007 and it’s disposition. It’s game over for the ComPost when that becomes public.

Former Louisiana Sen. John Breaux, a Democrat, said the allegations — what he termed the "girl problem"

He's from Louisiana, where the only disqualifying factors are a "dead girl" or a "live boy". "Live girl" is not one of those factors.

The dirty little secret here is that the GOP needs to lose its majority in the U.S. Senate so it no longer has to pretend that it actually has a majority in the U.S. Senate.

The dirty little secret here is that the GOPe needs to lose its majority in the U.S. Senate so it no longer has to pretend that it actually has a majority in the U.S. Senate.

There we go; all fixed. Just needed that little "e" to make it right. I'd love to see the GOPe gone and a real conservative GOP take its place. People with guts who are willing to fight for what's right and not go along with the deep state that needs a major purging also.

Right now we are fighting the left (dems), the socialist republicans, the establishment republicans (GOPe), the MSM, and the deep state. That's a lot of heavy hitters to be up against but it can be done if the regular people stick together and vote the right people in, like Roy Moore, into office.

The Senate had no problem keeping Clinton as President after he raped girls and had sex in the oval office on the Pres. seal. The Dems aren’t Moore’s problem, it’s the GOPe.

The new paradigm:

If one is a conservative republican, then one is guilty simply based on the seriousness of the charge, even if no evidence is suubmitted.
Example: Roy Moore

Of one is a democrat, all sexual misconduct is to be ignored.
Example: Al Gore acccused by a female masseur in Chicago of molestation, groping, giving unwanted massage to her, squeezing her breast and deep tongue kissing her against her will.

As I’ve Posted here before, Democrats circle their Wagons, Republicans set their Wagons on fire.

Reason is simple!

The media already loves the democrats 95:5
Democrats have no need to disparage other democrats.

Many Republicans yearn to be loved by the media, and one way to accomplish that is disparage any republican who may be conservative. McCain is an excellent example.

Wow....I think most of us had completely forgotten about that. Good catch, Entropy!

You're spot on when you stated "if one is a conservative Republican, then one is guilty simply based on the seriousness of the charge, even if no evidence is submitted.

Gore got a pass, so did Bubba and Barney Frank, both caught in sex scandals, never called to account.
