It shouldn’t even matter imo. I haven’t been following this too closely but if he kissed or brought a 14 year old on a date when he was 30, which is I think what it’s about? Well as long as it did not go any further and he’s a wiser/moral man now so many years later I do not believe his reputation should be destroyed over it. Maybe there’s something wrong with me thinking this way but I believe in giving people room to grow and change. I certainly am not the same person today as I was 20 years ago.
[maybe not 40 years later...]
In some instances, fingerprints have been discovered on objects that have not been disturbed for more than 40 years.

This stuff has got to stop........Frankly I don’t care one iotta what Moore did 40 years ago...short of murder. These women want their fame moment and money to sell their story....and that’s all there is to it. Meanwhile our nations business is paying for these charades...and the media hype.
That means we’re paying for this pony show!..and I think all the politicians like it this way.
My bad. Why is the flourish on the ‘y’ not in the yearbook autograph?
You are probably right.
I don't imagine the typical chief justice would want there to be a discrepancy between his written and printed signatures.
Recently, I received a refund check from the IRS with a one-letter misspelling of my last name. It was made out for the exact amount I had claimed plus a pittance of interest and mailed to the proper address, leaving no doubt it was intended for me.
My first instinct was to pretend I didn't notice the discrepancy and deposit the check at the nearest ATM. But it was large enough that I decided to make sure it would go through. So, I took it to the local Bank of America branch and explained the problem to the teller. She called over the manager, who instructed me to endorse the check as made out, then sign my correct name below that. I did that, and it went through, no problem.
Because, as Tina suggests in #113, it's not a flourish, but rather a sloppy, abbreviated cursive capital S, which would make his written official judicial signature consistent with the name printed right below.
So, the reason it doesn't appear in the yearbook autograph is, he simply didn't include his middle initial.
That makes sense. It makes his written Chief Justice signature consistent with the name printed below. It also explains why the yearbook autograph lacks the flourish — he simply signed the yearbook without including his middle initial.
'Tis really sloppy, however. Here is how a cursive capital S is supposed to be written:
That seems about right I think.
does she do drugs?
She wasn't 30 seconds into her opening tirade and I said to myself.. "what the hell is she on?"
Judge Jeanine was NOT Judge Jeanine. Strange behavior!
Folks tend to develop distinctive styles for their signatures, which vary from their normal cursive style.
E.g., check out this letter, dated Thursday morng, 2 Octb. 1783, from John Hancock to his wife Dolly:

Compare the J in "Do write me how Johnny is & all of them." (most of the way down in the first paragraph) and the J in "A Large Speaking Trumpet for Johnny" (tail end of the list of "I have sent you") with the J in the signature.
If you compare Moore’s signature on both samples, they’re obviously different. Not to mention the 7’s.
Of course he missed some because he is not an expert. Not that it matters...
His profile~penned by himself...
Author, novelist, and the planet’s only expert on World War One flamethrowers.
“he simply signed the yearbook without including his middle initial. “
Assuming he did sign it. If could be forged or photocopied onto the yearbook.
The yearbook autograph is "Roy Moore", no middle initial. His official signature as Chief Justice of Alabama includes a sloppy S that looks like it's a flourish on the y in Roy. But the two sigs are of the same person.
Not to mention the 7’s.
The sevens in "12-22-77 Olde Hickory House" were more than likely added by the yearbook owner to document the time and place of the autograph. He had become a deputy DA the previous 1 October. She did get the name of the restaurant wrong, but it's hard to make a federal case out of her error (Olde for Old, LOL!).
She's lying about the attempted forced lewinsky, but there is no way to prove it from the yearbook autograph.
You’re assuming the autograph on the yearbook is authentic. Why?
Any time I see Gloria Allred I know it’s BS. She needs to be disbarred.
The yearbook autograph is neither here nor there. It simply indicates he was acquainted with a certain high school girl.
She's claiming attempted rape, but a common sense assessment would be that she is lying, simply based on timing and surrounding circumstances. If she had anything, it was stale decades ago. All the autograph proves is, they knew each other.
And, as you point out, the autograph could be fake. It's probably not forged, but it could be photocopied.
Get the hell out of here with your defeatist attitude. Moore is just beginning to fight.
