Would the Senate invoke Article I, Section 5, clause 2, to “expel” Senator Roy Moore?

Moore already has the correct enemies.

Go Roy Moore...drain the swamp.

If the Swamp renders our ability to reclaim our country from our rogue government by way of elections ineffective, I wonder what other avenues might be open to citizens?

I remember how the Senate expelled Ted Kennedy in 1969 after the Chappaquiddick incident.

Oh, wait.

This is becoming quite surreal.

Yes, I wonder...

If I remember correctly...
if there’s a blue dress with the accused’s semen on it the Senate predecent is to acquit.

Barney Frank wasn’t ousted for having a gay prostitution ring run out of his home.

Republican Governor Kay Ivey would select his successor, if it comes to that. It would be ironic if Trump’s pick, Luther Strange, became Senator after all.

But let’s hope the people of Alabama do the right thing.

It’s a truly vexing enigma, a perplexing conundrum that evades any solution.

Things that make you go hmmmm...

The allegations against Roy Moore as detailed in a Washington Post story on November 9 are serious, and should be taken seriously

IF TRUE. Big IF.

If I were Kay Ivey in such a scenario, I’d name Roy Moore as his own successor.

I think the passive aggressive pukes who are trying to smear Moore wouldn’t have the balls to try to expel Moore if he wins.

The media is playing this guy are backwards redneck from the sticks and a lot of reporters are buying into their own propaganda.

Moore is a West Point grad, Military Police Captain in Vietnam, experienced trial lawyer and a Judge for about 20 years including a promotion to Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

He may just have be a bit more difficult to smear than they realize.

Already, it’s obvious that who ever is controlling the smear campaign is pretty incompetent because the Washington Post reporters who paid bribe money for the stories are being exposed and the stories and credibility of the accusers is falling apart.

Moore may hit back harder and with more effect that could ever dream of. Election law is state based and Moore knows the law and he has a huge home court advantage in the Alabama court system.

They will...they’ll elect Judge Roy Moore to the Senate where he will be a giant in the struggle to free America from the Swamp critters working to destroy her.

I wouldn’t care if he was accused of being a mass murderer. I would rather see him in the senate than the alternatives.

They didn't expel Ted Kennedy when he killed a girl. They didn't expel Robert Byrd when they found out he was a Klan leader 230 years ago. They didn't expel John Edwards for banging some two-bit filmmaker. But they're going to expel Roy Moore for something that never happened 40+ years ago and was perfectly legal if it did?

If it was a Demorat Senate, then yes, they would cavalierly apply that double standard. With a Republican majority in the upper house, all we have to worry about are the RINOs.

We should be worried.

I don’t see how they’re going to be able to get around Powell v. McCorrmack (1969) which says they can only refuse to seat a member for Constitutional qualifications.

Hey Myth!

You once spoke to us at the Maine Republican Convention. I thought you were a RINO then.

I see you’re still an enemy of the American people. Shut up and flip burgers.

McCain lied about his role in the Keating 5 scandal.
