    "Tryst." I learned a new word when I googled it. I agree with you.

    Learn how to write properly then. Your poll replies clearly state not illegal but you can still keep people from office. I pointed out you can't discriminate or deny due process. Only after you pathetically lost on that argument did you seek to back pedal and claim you were asking for a new law.

    The question does not even mention "discriminate" or denial of due process. It says "illegal." There is no reason to go round and round with someone who has no clue what he is talking about. Violation of an ethics law is not "illegal."

    Your trying to cling to your attempts to divert from and derail the topic is a fail. There is no constitutional right to date teenagers nor any issue of due process.

    If something is illegal it violated some codified law otherwise it is not illegal.

    No, that is wrong. It is not illegal to violate an ethics code of conduct anymore than it is illegal to violate any other organization or companies rules of ethics. But it can get a person fired and can prevent a person from being hired if it is the person's prior history.

    Your posting the same claim over and over just means you are wrong over and over. It is not "illegal" for a lawyer, judge, member of a legislature or Congress to violate their rules of ethics. They are not even called laws, they are called "rules."

    Elizabeth Warren was briefly censured for violation the rules of the Senate. In your view, everyone now could accurately claim she engaged in "illegal conduct" as a US Senator. So, is that your view of it? Warren committed an "illegal act" as a US Senator for attacking Jeff Session's reputation before a Senate committee in violation of Senate Rules?

    BTW, congratulations on being willing to respond. 99% of Democrats ranting about Moore are avoiding answering like it is the plague. They'll just keep ranting that a 31 year old man asking a legal age 17 year old out on a date is unthinkably evil pedophilia.

    I have completely changed my stance on Roy Moore with the new what now really is "evidence." The new information, accusers speaking themselves, the school album - all collectively cause me to change my stance.

    Roy Moore should immediately drop out before he drags more people and the country down with him.

    Had he come clean from the start, apologized, asked for forgiveness and expressed remorse for misconduct when he was young, claiming he then devoted his life to God, family, faithfulness, justice and County, he could have survived this. But he lied on top of lies, tried to make himself the victim, and claimed a conspiracy.

    It is not what he did 37 and 38 years ago that has destroyed him. It is the lies, playing the victim and accusations he made this year that takes him down - as it should.

    Apparently Roy did not bother to ask so this is not relevant.

    Why is it that when someone posts up thread question what people think the law should be, some numbnut responds with what the law is?

    5 women, Jake and one was 14. He tried to have sex with her behind a dumpster,, and put her out of his car when she struggled against him. Your defense of Moore and parsing the "legality" of his behavior is pretty disgusting.

    Open season on under-aged girls, huh? Did you press your POV with your daughters and granddaughters?

    Learn how to read properly. He is clearly asking for opinions on what the law should be, not an actual new law. Some options are that there should not be a law, but that some rules should be in place for certain areas of the professional/political world where this could cause ejection or reprimand from that area.

    Not sure about laws, but it's quite repulsive to be flirted with by older men, at any age.

    With all the sexual deviance pushed by the left, why so upset?

    Lol...Did you ever think that you would have to be polishing turds for a child molester?
    How low the trump supporters have fallen.
    And what the hell is wrong with right-wing so-called Christian men who are perpetually hitting on children?
    Can't they get it up with a real woman?

    I have known a few people in my life who gravitated towards older people. One attractive young woman of twenty years preferred to hang out with men and women in their fifties. There are all kinds.

    No Margot 2

    I did not know you have a dirty mind to accuse a 79 year old of such things. My children and grand kids are very moral people.

    I notice that when we speak of the law, Democrats have changed the topic to attacking us and making false accusations.
    get back to the law please. We are not the guilty party.

    We want the guilty punished. So work on that.

    You have such men on your team. Who forgot Barney Franks and the recently imprisoned Anthony Weiner?

    Has anyone defended Weiner or made excuses for him as you have done?

    Would you call her a slut? With her torrid past, do you call her a slut? Bear in mind how you look at men.

    Oh lord yes. But I have not made excuses for anyone as of now. I thought you had more class than to talk that way.

    I would respect Gloria Alred much more had she sued Moore in a court of law. No teen should be treated as this woman says she was. But the issue here is the law. Alred is a lawyer. She knows how to file a suit.

    I have as of today, never defended Moore over sex issues, but have sought the use of the law. And by correctly using law, let the court dispense of this. The woman who says she was tossed out of the car should be compensated for pain and suffering. The story she told is reprehensible to say the least. I question Alred over what she did. She should have made proper use of the court system.
