The Alabama Republican party is officially standing by Roy Moore as the GOP nominee in the Senate race, closing the door on one of the few options to block Moore from being elected.

“The ALGOP Steering Committee supports Judge Roy Moore as our nominee and trusts the voters as they make the ultimate decision in this crucial race,” said Alabama GOP Chairwoman Terry Lathan in a statement Thursday.

>>That means that, if he wins, only a vote by the Senate to expel him can take his status as a Senator from him.<<

I don’t know whether the Senate can expel him, but I’ve seen a post or two that claim it can’t.

I read that a two thirds majority of Senators can expel another Senator from the Senate, but even if so, there may be other conditions attached to the process.

>> Alabama is a States Rights kind of place. Its proud Confederate history and Southern culture have been under assault for a few years. AG Sessions was treated horribly in confirmation hearings.

I do hope Alabamans realize that this is about more than Roy Moore. It’s about being robbed of their identity.<<

You are exactly right about this. I explained basically the same thing on another thread, and pointed out that Democrat/RINO politicians and other elites in New York and Washington look down upon virtually all Southerners as an ignorant tribe of Yahoos. And this charade is a perfect example of that.

Their internal polling probably shows a landslide for Moore. I’ll be voting for him Dec 12th.

Do you have early voting? We don’t in Mississippi and I think that’s the best

I can already see McConnell playing games with protracted delays seating Moore.

A litany of feigned ‘objections’ awaits us too, from ‘concerned’ colleagues in the senatocracy.

Stay tough judge Moore!

You need more than JUST ONE source to verify a fact.

The more I search those different spellings of the assistant's name, the more I'm inclined to believe it was Delbra Adams.
I get results for a Court Specialist at State of Alabama Circuit Clerk's Office Cherokee County.
I also get results as a certified public notary located in Sand Rock, AL.
And ... I get results for Delbra Adams in Leesburg , AL. with a lot of A.K.A.s

All McConnel’s doing by interfering is making sure Alabamans double down on Moore, while hoping the MSM doesn’t look too closely at his behavior.

“Sanders said Trump wants the people of Alabama to decide if Moore should drop out, though she had no clear mechanism for how they would do that. “

Oh, nose! This is an emergency! The feds gotta come in and start reconstruction all over again, just to give them a mechanism to decide if Moore should drop out, and then order them to order him to drop out./s

Alabama does NOT allow “no excuse” early voting. Such practices are an invitation to voting fraud. And, we require photo ID to vote, so dead Democrats need not apply.

It’s not for nothing that our state motto is “We Dare Defend Our Rights.” Dear God, I’m thankful to be a transplant Alabamian.

I heard it with my own ears from Judge Moore’s lawyer. So, that’s all I need.
