re: #93 Backwoods_Sleuth

FWIW, and I’ll keep it short:

I find no satisfaction as a woman being “protected” by forcing Franken to resign at the expense of due process/innocent until proven guilty. I’ve posted here about that precise fear earlier.

That is a slippery slope for which I will take no responsibility.

I second your emotion. From my comment on 11/18:

And if we let them force Franken out of the Senate, it is over.

It will be open season on every Democrat in congress. If they can pick off their Fox News bete noir, nobody is safe. (Think how steamed they are that O’Reilly, one of Franken’s earliest targets, is gone—and think of the glee in their dark hearts if they can make Franken go away.)… And if the troglodytes on the right see an opening—if the Dems decide that we have to be purer than the driven snow—they (the right wingers) will unleash a hellstorm of accusations against every fucking Dem—and if we insist that we’re going to hold our side to a standard that is unattainable and unrealistic, we are fucked.
