A Most Dangerous Condition with Judge Roy Moore
Redoubt news ^ | 11/19/17 | Jim Boyer

Posted on 11/20/2017 9:16:41 AM PST by Baynative

While most of the focus is on the media's “shiny object”, Judge Roy Moore and the contentious senate race in Alabama, a very dangerous statement has been tossed out by Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. With the support of Senators Jeff Flake of Arizona and Todd Young of Indiana, Gardner has put forth the idea that if Judge Roy Moore wins the election in Alabama the senate should expel him because he does not meet the moral and ethical standards of the senate.

"Further, analysis of the "textual commitment" under Art. I, § 5 (see 395 U. S. B(1)), has demonstrated that, in judging the qualifications of its members, Congress is limited to the standing qualifications prescribed in the Constitution." (Emphasis added.) (Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486 (1969))

The GOPe and the Demonrats have just handed us the rope to hang them with. Judge Moore is going to win. This seedy plot is likely to actually increase the margin. What a bunch of arrogant fools we have sent to Washington DC.

Good afternoon.

“they are taking us into dangerous territory.”

Wasn’t the last time a senator was expelled was in 1861?

History does tend to rhyme...

Could be. It would be proof that the people are paying attention, that they know they are being fed a bunch of bull by Washington and the MSM, and that Senators and Congressmen are STILL ACCOUNTABLE to the voters that put them in office.

As far as Congress, the Democratic Party and the GOPe, I hate the b@$+@rd$ for what they have done to this country.

Some are saying that Roy Moore is not “fit” for the Senate, based on having allegations of sexual misbehavior against him.

Point 1. He denies them, and they offer no proof.

Point 2. The allegations are about events from decades ago. If they were not important then, they are not important now.

Point 3. And this is the important one. Assuming that every accusation is true the Senate, based on the things we know like Al Franken, and secret slush funds to buy off accusers, seems to be just the place for this fictional Roy Moore.

Never Trumpers and drive by media radio talk hosts were having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14 years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. Which they gleefully related and dwelling on in a touchy feel-ly manner as if it came off of a never given or made police report which requires a sworn complaint.

But originated and quoted from a media source which supports positions like abortion, gender reclassification, gay marriage, and nullification of religious influence on culture all of which that publication supports but are opposed by candidate Roy Moore.

Despite that fact that it has been uncovered that his main accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” .

Here is background on 4 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time ? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts
Latest charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts
someone named Roy or Ray signed it Moore’s last name was added to it. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appear with his signature in that year book. Because she would do so to verify his signature only on his court rulings.

The ethics and standards of senators and representatives are so low, that not meeting them is a good thing.

Yes the Senate commandments are:

Thou shalt leave thy mistress to drown in the water in a car while you go back to partying.

Adultery is okay, and that’s why you have a mistress

Oh and there is no such thing as insider trading

And it’s okay to lie, as long as you lie according to the Congressional style of lying and you aren’t a Republican.

My apology. I clicked the wrong entry. I am looking for the source of all the comments from past associates of Roy Moore that were quoted in #55.

It was released by Judge Moore's campaign https://www.roymoore.org/Press-Releases/124/Alabama-Women-Affirm-the-Character-of-Judge-Roy-Moore.

A condensed version appears on al.com http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/11/roy_moore_announces_12_testimo.html.

"Moral and ethical standards of the senate?"

I don't believe I've seen where Judge Moore got liquored up, and drove his car into a bay, where he allowed his (probably pregnant) aide to drown.

Or was the Grand Klaxxon (or whatever the heck they call it) of the Ku Klux Klan.

No problem - wasn't chiding you - was just trying to let you know you could find the info readily - the more who have all the story from both sides, the better.

Happy FReeping.

RE:
"... annoyed and disgusted when anyone disrespects my ability to recognize how Washington is run by claiming a decision can be based on the “moral and ethical standards of the US Senate”. The body that praises the ‘careers’ of murderer Ted Kennedy, Klan Dragon Robert Byrd, Intelligence leaker Patrick Leahy, check bouncer Barbara Boxer and career criminal Hillary Clinton has no license to talk down to us by claiming morals or ethics are a basis for anything they do."

(I like that part)

The swamp indeed runs very deep indeed.
As the saying goes "the more wild & desperate the accusations, the more guilty are the accusers".

We all see how both parties has enriched themselves at taxpayers expense for a generation and although these congress critters gets almost unlimited funding for their office, unlimited postage, travel, etc and even if they managed to serve only 1 term in office they still walk away with that salary for LIFE (starting at $120,000/ yr) + the super platinum health insurance for their family.

Then on top of all these perks they embed themselves to profit from the very laws & changes they are crafting! Outside of DC this would be illegal as INSIDER TRADING but for them is just part of normal life.

Thus we see in just the military spending, little Israel is making & selling a superior version of the Patriot missile that has longer range & better kit for a crazy 10% of what we sell our for! Theirs is going at $400,000.

Weapons systems like these are big ticket items and command a premium price, but if they call sell theirs at $400,000 and still do a decent profit then it's obvious that the usa tax payers are paying at least 10x over cost - and that may be the standard OVERBILLING for everything in order to line the pockets of these DC politicians, hence their frenetic action to prevent mere outsiders from getting elected as they may exposure the rampant corruption that has been going on for at least a generation. Just look at how Trump has ran into constant roadblocks from the GOP from day 1 and it's plain that most of them are really donkeys wearing R jerseys.

As much as i loathe Hollywood and the crap they mostly produce these days, but those old movies "The Distinguished Gentleman" and "The Pentagon Wars" speaks volumes as to the endemic corruption in there.
