It occurred to me that the attacks were similar. Unwillingness to have sex. Sprung at last minute. After victory was assured. Yearbooks. Claims and counterclaims. News frenzy.

No, I've seen these attacks for years. Remember Herman Cain? They will do anything for power. I hope some folks get locked up for perjury over this one. I think it may be coming-Ford's attorney hired herself an attorney.

Nah, this is how the left operates. Control the media, control the narriative, falsely accuse and report it 24/7. They have done it many times, but just like the boy who cried wolf it’s starting to lose its effectiveness and people are not buying it.

Completely different.
Moore should have been weeded out by his own side before he got that far. He was a complete nutcase when he was a judge.
Yes, he was also accused of sexual misdeeds as a teen, but even without any of that he was a throwback to the 50's, even in Alabama.
He caused the Republicans to give that seat away last time.

I suspect the new norm will be anytime a male is nominate to SCOTUS or perhaps a very high court appointment at least one "me too" claim will be made. That said, in the Kavanaugh case, it did not work, but it did further balkanize the bitterest of political divides.

These are popular because they work, are easy to fabricate, and even if they don’t stick, they stain.

Even if the target is and has been pure as the driven snow, someone can be found to make the charges, which will be, if not believed, suspected of being true. There is seldom any evidence, even less often direct witnesses. The best they can do usually is she told her girlfriend/mom/counselor at some point between right afterwards and sometime later.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Most of us here are old enough to remember the Clarence Thomas debacle. The Kavanaugh accusations were the Thomas nomination jacked up by a factor of 10 (100?).... this is how the Dems operate, most of the smart folks realize it. It's the sheep that are so easily swayed....

Patterned after the one on Clarence Thomas. That one didn't work either. The GDC's believed the reason it didn't was because they sprung it too early and gave Thomas and his supporters time to respond. So in the case of Kavanaugh, they sat on the info for months in order to spring it at the last minute. They had hoped Trump would pull the nomination or the nominee would withdraw.

Probably more accurate to say they hoped a couple of Senators would be intimidated. They certainly know by now that Trump doesn’t back away from getting what he wants, isn’t bothered by threats or negative gloom and doom opinions of others.

Have not looked, but what is required by the constitution for the position? Does the person have to have a law background?

Chief Justice Warren was not a judge previously; I don't even think he was an attorney.

Earl Warren was city attorney, district attorney and Attorney General of California before serving 3 terms as Governor of California, before being selected as Chief Justice by Pres. Eisenhower. He was not a judge.

To the first question, there are no express qualifications, but as a practical matter, realistically, one must be a lawyer, probably with either at least some prosecutor or judicial background, preferably a clerkship at the appellate level and very likely a graduate of a very prestigious law school, either Harvard or Yale usually. None of these is “required” but do enhance a resume.

Chief Justice Burger was a graduate of a night law school in Minnesota, earned political stripes supprting Eisenhower, was appointed to the DOJ heading the Civil Division, then the DC circuit court, before Nixon chose him for the top job.

I think the Moore circumstance is used as a weapon by those who apply guilt by association and who reject due process to damage others' reputations. Collective condemnation combined with lack of due process are pillars of eventual genocide given enough time and enough emotion. Alarmingly these things always come from the Left.

totally agree

their form of propaganda / information control

'repeat a lie enough times - it becomes the truth' ... they have established by shouting it enough times that BK is a sex offender who is now a supreme court justice. the lie - to them - has become the truth

but i agree that Trump has helped in freeing us to sharply call them out on their antics - forcibly just like he does

think about the effect Trump has had on the whole BLM nonsense - we don't hear too much about that anymore --- not that it's totally gone - but this admin has taken a lot of wind out of their sails

So far I appear to be the only one from Alabama commenting on this.

AG Moore, although a bit quirky in some personal areas, was a no-nonsense judge when he served the Etowah County courts. It was during this time that he ruled against the family of his main accuser in a foreclosure case, years before he ran for the Senate.

Although several who knew him tried to offer testimonial assistance during his campaign, a lot of outside interests were behind most of his opposition. IMHO, these PACs were set up through a series of sham organizations, to hide their funding sources. One, however, was tied in with the SPLC, who Moore had ruled against a few times.

I am not a big fan of Roy Moore, but I didn't like Doug Jones at all. Again IMHO, what was conveniently left out of his campaign (or squashed) was some of his personal life, that would have really shown some hypocrisy regarding some of the accusations that Moore got.

I think in a small sense the national democommies got the idea that if alleged sexual misconduct worked in a conservative state like Alabama, it could work in the national arena too.

JMHO on all.
