re: #36 Backwoods_Sleuth
The fact that this is a deadlocked jury isn’t surprising at all.
Before McDonnell (the US SCt case), this would have been a slam dunk corruption case.
After McDonnell, the definition of public act is so wide as to gut the federal corruption laws. We’ve seen a shit-ton of corruption convictions overturned on McDonnell grounds, including Joe Bruno, Shelly Silver, and other NYS legislator cases. Menendez would be yet another that would be tough to get to a conviction precisely because the case law has rendered corruption nearly impossible to prosecute.
The mistrial (likely) would mean that prosecutors would likely seek to prosecute again next year. It also means that a Democrat would be in Trenton (Murphy) and the process would favor Democrats for his replacement.
re: #64 Charles Johnson
Will they actually follow through on this? That’s the big question.
The Senate Refusing to seat Roy Moore is a tall order. It requires the same hurdle as expelling an already seated member, 2/3rds vote. Meaning 19 GOP Senators have to vote to expel one of their own when their contentious agenda already can’t stand the lost of 3 on most votes. We already saw Paul Ryan today reduce the entire thing down to getting tax cuts passed.
Add to that the fact that many of them are heading into the 2018 midterms and are deathly afraid of angering Trump’s atavistic voter base. It’s like the GOP knows their time in power is most likely limited and they’re doing everything possible to reward the people who put them there at the long term expense of the country.
I mean, they could do it, but it’s nowhere near a slam dunk.

If that means back a child molester, then so be it.
Remember - the big GOP donors have been telling Congress that if they don’t get the tax cut done, the gravy train won’t stop in DC any more. That’s their incentive to back a pedo.
Has it been confirmed that the note and signature are indeed Roy Moore’s and that the signature is consistent with having been made when claimed? Also, has the Washington Post indicated whether Ms. Nelson’s name was turned up during their investigation?

re: #121 goddamnedfrank
The Senate Refusing to seat Roy Moore is a tall order. It requires the same hurdle as expelling an already seated member, 2/3rds vote. Meaning 19 GOP Senators have to vote to expel one of their own when their contentious agenda already can’t stand the lost of 3 on most votes. We already saw Paul Ryan today reduce the entire thing down to getting tax cuts passed.
Add to that the fact that many of them are heading into the 2018 midterms and are deathly afraid of angering Trump’s atavistic voter base. It’s like the GOP knows their time in power is most likely limited and they’re doing everything possible to reward the people who put them there at the long term expense of the country.
I mean, they could do it, but it’s nowhere near a slam dunk.
If Moore gets elected, his expulsion will be subject to many interminable and unexplained ‘delays.’
They have as much intention of throwing him out as I have of cutting my own fingers off.
We have a Senate GOP candidate in a sex scandal. We have a Democrat Senate INCUMBENT on trial facing felony charges. The “objective” media are giving the GOP candidate 40 times as much coverage as the Democrat incumbent. You read that right. https://t.co/EoQvQbvZQn

re: #130 makeitstop
It looks to me like the contrary - they’re pulling out all the stops to get it done.
If that means back a child molester, then so be it.
Remember - the big GOP donors have been telling Congress that if they don’t get the tax cut done, the gravy train won’t stop in DC any more. That’s their incentive to back a pedo.
There’s going to be a lot of fussy people if they change the catch-up provisions of the 401(k) rules. And a lot of those will be coming from red states.

Exactly, that shit diffused through our consciousnesses via cultural osmosis.

If they didn’t explore them further it’s because they felt it wasn’t in their interest to.
re: #74 Ace-o-aces
They’ve been busy trying to equate a corruption charge against Menendez with sexually molesting a 14 year old.
Not the same ballpark. Not even the same universe.
These people are absolutely demented, especially when they’re the same people who were demanding that they lock up Clinton despite not even being charged. They skipped over indictments and straight to punishment.
Moore’s running and the pile of bad acts is piling up - not even counting getting removed from the state judiciary twice for refusing to follow state law/rules. That should have been disqualifying, except the GOP sees that as a badge of honor (rule of law my ass).

That too is a direct violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility and would be grounds for disbarment. In fact, it probably would be grounds to review every single case he ever worked on to see what happened (which should probably be done just because he’s been booted from the state judiciary twice for refusing to follow the law).

The sudden move by GOPers in the Senate to distance themselves from Moore sickens me because all of them know that if he wins the special election next month, McConnell will swear him in as their newest GOP senator from Alabama. The dude has already been seen in the Senate cafeteria having lunch with some GOPers last week—-some of them are the same senators that are now trying to get as far away from him as they can. No way am I believing they had no prior knowledge that Moore is an authoritarian-minded, despicable POS.

WaPo has a headline up that says the National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman is calling for the GOP to expel Moore from the Senate if he wins and saying he’s “unfit to serve”. I’ve used up my free reads, so I’m not sure how serious the statement actually is, but that seems pretty huge.

re: #243 KGxvi
No worries, just thought you’d like to read the statement.
Cory Gardner’s my senator, not up for reelection until 2020. Still, him being the chair of the NRSC, the bag man for the donor class, he’s engaging in CYA bigly.
re: #238 KGxvi
“WaPo has a headline up that says the National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman is calling for the GOP to expel Moore from the Senate if he wins and saying he’s “unfit to serve”. I’ve used up my free reads, so I’m not sure how serious the statement actually is, but that seems pretty huge.”
I also read that. I grew up in GA and that has given me experience with persons like McConnell and other GOPers based on close observations and noting for over 50 years the difference between the things they say and the things they do. I still believe that if Moore wins, they won’t have the courage to deny him a seat. They’re cowards and are afraid of the blow-back they’ll receive from Fox and GOPers in Alabama. I would like to think that there is some decency left in the party, but I won’t bet my life on it. McConnell and his GOP buddies in the senate want to keep that seat in GOP hands, and if they have to seat Moore to do it, they’ll do it. They stole a U.S. Supreme Ct. seat, and I’ve seen nothing that indicates to me they’d be willing to have a Democrat win that seat. I think this is why I’ve been reading that they’re wanting Sessions to leave the DOJ and have Ivey appoint him to his former seat in the senate. Either way it goes, Sessions returning to the senate is as bad as Moore taking his place.

If Moore wins, they’ll take that and run like goddamn thieves. There’s no way they’d give up that seat if Moore wins it.
Like I said earlier, they’re trying really hard to have their cake and eat it.

One of my lovely used-to-be-a-jewely-store windows has been given over to Mr. w, who restores cast iron cookware and other kitchen miscellany. There’s a cast iron corker-capper in there, displayed with a wine bottle (empty) so people can see how it’s used. At least once a week, somebody comes in to ask about the wine opener. When I tell them it’s a closer, they lose interest. This week, it happened on Monday. Maybe I can rack up one per day.

A bright, cheery good afternoon to all. An idiot Young Person smacked into the side of my car this afternoon at a fairly high rate of speed in a 25mph zone. He is (of course) uninsured. Fortunately, no injuries, but Mr. C. and I are preparing for the possibility that the amount of damage to our 2010 Prius may count as it being totaled.
Fortunately, if that is the case, we can afford to buy a new vehicle, but it wasn’t high on our list of things we wanted to do.Still, no injuries, we have good insurance, and we can afford to deal with however it turns out. How’s everyone else’s day going?
You’re still having a better day than Roy Moore.

My day is hanging by a thread. The last week at work has been essential hell. I’m surprised I still have a job. The stress has been extreme. I am glad you are okay, though I would encourage you to get checked out for whiplash-related injuries. I know from personal experience and from Mrs. Fish how subtle that damage can be.
re: #311 Eclectic Cyborg
I am starting to wonder if Roy Moore will be the cancer that finally kills the current version of the GOP.
Team Red has been having a really shitty November so far.
Don’t hatch your eggs. We thought Trump would too but Moore still may win.
LOL. “Cannot confirm.” Donald Trump Jr. just tweeted the whole exchange. What a clown show.

Something is very wrong with Alabama. The Constitutional violations and the bigotry alone should be disqualifying, but now AL Repubs are OK with molestation.

I’m sorry your job is so stressful.
I don’t think anything happened that could possibly have caused whiplash. The car was hit back of center and was pushed some distance and turned maybe 70 degrees or so. My shoulder bumped the window, and my head probably moved to the side a bit, but was protected by the airbag. I’ll stay alert for any problems, though.

You let us know if there’s anything we can do. We Lizards take care of our own.

Thanks. I know that and appreciated it. I’m really devoutly grateful that this is all a nuisance, and will probably cost us a little money, but nothing we can’t afford.
And with that, I’d better go start dinner.

Being against molestation is PC now? Roy Moore got kicked off the bench twice for Constitutional violations, and brings his bigotry to work. That wasn’t enough to erode Conservative support. Now we know he has short-eyes, and that will be excused too?
