First off, I’m in California so I have no room to criticize other foolish voters. If the President hadn’t ill-advisedly rubber stamped MConnell’s swamp candidate, Luther Strange, then Mo Brooks might have won the nomination, and he would have been elected. That said, apart from his disturbing predeliction, Moore was no less qualified than tons of sitting members of the Senate. I mean he was twice elected to the Supreme Court, I believe. At this point there’s no rehabilitating him, and he need to go away.
I agree pretty much with everything you said.
“That said, apart from his disturbing predeliction, Moore was no less qualified than tons of sitting members of the Senate. “
Moore was twice removed from office for refusing to comply with a superior court order (federal).
Not fit for office on that alone.
I certainly want the Republicans to win the Senate seat. Full Stop.The thing to understand is that Moore was very slightly more in the wrong than Judge Kavanaugh was. Which is to say, hardly at all.
When you get to dealing with “recovered memory” testimony, you basically have no evidence at all. It just looks like it. Professor Ford’s testimony was worthless because a psychiatrist “helped her recover the memory” to which she testified so emotionally. And the “help” of the psychiatrist is a black box - HIPPA would forbid any inquiry into it. What defense attorney would allow testimony which was coached rather than coming from the memory of the witness? What kind of “due process” is that????
And yet that is just what “recovered memory” amounts to. The WaPo should be sued into oblivion for using it in Moore’s case, and the same is true for all of the media in the Kavanaugh case.
