Credible, my butt.
I’m not sure I understand how Roy Moore is a debacle.
To agree with this article, you have to accept a flimsy premise, that Moore is guilty of the charges of obscene and reprehensible behavior. I’m not sure I accept the premise in the first place.
Wouldn’t matter. You could have a Roy Moore problem with a representative, a governor or a dog catcher. Removing the popular vote for Senators eliminates nothing.
I totally agree. Senators look out for themselves, are the playthings of lobbiests. The states are not represented
Yeah right,
So we can give a free check to Mitch McConnell and let him choose?
Or give any other group of people already in the senate the power to keep and protect their status quo?
Elections are about change. If we are displeased with the current power structure in the senate we vote and change it,
So to the author of this article: No! Heck No!
I’m praying for a Moore win.
They despise him because he can’t be pushed around.
They hate anyone that is MAGA,
I want Bannon to succeed in primarying many RINO a-holes next election.
There are no political parties now....there are just those that stand with Trump and his values and those that support the deep-state.
I agree with repeal of 17th.
I disagree with idea that Moore is a debacle...the debacle is the nature of the GOP-E.
I’ve said this for years. The two worst mistakes ever made were the ratification of the 16th and 17th Amendments.
Don’t even get me started on the 19th....
L
I’m all for ditching the 17th amendment. Though I would argue there are about 90 senators who are far worse disasters than Moore.
The Federalist is losing ITS OWN credibility by publishing bilge such as this. Judge Moore is not the debacle or the villain here. The villains are the corrupt Mitch McConnell and the entirety of the Swamp trying to destroy Moore to protect their Swamp from incoming Swamp Drainers.
The author stretches the meaning of “credible’ to the breaking point.
Actually, I was thinking the repealing the 19th would be more efficacious.
In order to repeal an amendment, it has to be legitimately passed first. Was the 17th Amendment ever really legitimately enacted?
Will never happen. Shouldn’t have happened in the first place. How the heck did it happen? Amazing the me that 3/4 of the state would vote to give up that authority.
John Daniel Davidson is the debacle.
Repeal the 17th amendment and legalize dueling. Then we will have our checks and balances back
And I thought I was alone all these years!
if the left wants to go back to the legislator electing senators and house reps I have no problem but If you look at state houses 3/4 of them are conservative republicans and there are a lot less rinos in state government then DC. this would end the democratic party in all areas of the country but California Maryland Virginia massachussess along with new York city and other big city governments.
Roy Moore doesn’t need defending. His accusers need to prove their accusations.
There is a reason why we have a Statute of Limitations on crimes.
Did you know that even in the Bible, accusers had rules to go by? Deuteronomy 19:15 “A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed.”
Jesus reiterated that law in Matthew 18:15-16 “If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that ‘BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED’.”
These women had 38 years to go to Moore and get him to repent. They had whatever the Statute of Limitations was to report their accusations.
The burden of proof is not on Moore, it is on the accusers. If they produce the evidence, fine. Throw him under the jail and discredit him for life. If they can’t, well, they know they have tried to ruin the reputation of a man for political purposes. The yearbook woman has already been shown to be a fraud.
Moore can be unhinged on some issues. Yeah, I know, the Ten Commandments fiasco is example #1. However, no one deserves to have their career and reputation finished based on malicious lies.
