⬆️ Yet more straw. The premise is this: “due process” is a legal concept. If you want to characterize Roy Moore’s accusers as “pure gossip,” that’s your party. Roy Moore is not being put before a grand jury, subject to indictmemt. And, yes, TRT, over and over again, I have argued that politics is a rough and tumble, winner take all, zero sum game. Both left and right want its policies to rule the day, with the “culture war” component only adding further “all’s fair in love and war” (and politics) to the fray. But let’s be clear: a man who says that wealth and power entitle a man to grab a woman’s genitals, for instance, has at least shrunk the margin for benefit of the doubt, as has a man at the least asked to stop hanging around a mall giving teen girls an unwanted perusal.
