    Ok so now that we know what do you say?

    That seems to be the case, yes. It shouldn't be, but it is.
    Why has Congress paid out $m to accusers from a fund set up specifically for that purpose, if not to project that lawmakers are immune from criminal acts that apply to everyone else?

    Your words, not mine. It's common knowledge that a Democrat and a Republican are believed to have been involved in illicit sexual behaviour. It seems you would prefer it to be two Democrats, rather than two sexual predators.

    The photograph of Franking groping Tweeden doesn't leave any doubt, does it? This is not a "he said, she said" situation.

    The attack on Moore was intended to destroy him too late to replace him, giving a seat to the Democrats. I did hear something interesting today. If Moore drops out of the race will the special election be invalid?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    In Moore's case we have one woman who claims she was touched by Moore when she was 14 years old. The other woman who lost her divorce case before Moore in 1999 claims she was sexually assaulted. Additionally, it looks as if her yearbook included a forgery. We cannot know the truth before the election.

    In Franken's case we have an explicit photograph of Franking groping Tweeden while she slept. What doubt remains in Franken's case?

    Wouldn't the resignation of Franken negate that, if only until another was appointed?

    Who said it was a Democrat and a Republican?

    Franken will be excused because he has admitted the part of this he can't deny and apologized.

    Sounds like he's willing to own up to what he did.
