This could be the reason why he isn't and McConnell was so quick to just say he should be referred to the ethics committee. http://ntknetwork.com/15-million-in-taxpayer-money-has-been-paid-out-to-settle-congressional-sexual-harassment-suits/ I have a feeling Franken opened the floodgates for the rest of Congress. If he steps down it sets a precedent for all future senators/congressman accused to also step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdutton Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This is more political correctness gone awry. I am a conservative, and despise the man, but I saw the photo... he was not touching her. It was clearly a joke. There are other more serious issues that we need to deal with but this is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Nobody seems to appreciate that one sleazebag resigning will only make way for the next sleazebag to move in and take over. If someone holding political office commits a criminal offense, then sure - toss them out on their ass. If no actual crime has been committed, then fire them at the ballot box.

No. Franken has that yellow ear plug in, hands in same position, same clothes, but whoever doctored that photo did a good job. I think that photo of Hillary was from the convention. I'll change my vote to no because I thought more women would come forward like they did with Spacey, B. Clinton, Weinstein, Moore, Trump, etc... Franklin apologized and the woman accepted his apology. If more women come forward then he should resign. Doesn't mean he's not a creep though.

There is a very reasonable argument to be made that the forfeiture of the franchise and 2nd Amendment protections are seperate yet accompanying punishments from incarceration and post detention behavior monitoring, and since those rights are not suspended without due process, it's perfectly Constitutional.

And yet, in the most every state you can still vote as a felon. And in almost every state, at least every state I know of you can have your gun rights reinstated as a felon. There are certain stipulations to both, but for the most part you can restore all your constitutional rights and guarantees which are forfeited upon a conviction or any such likewise incident. But the Second Amendment and the right to vote are the two big things that matter the most. Other than going to certain countries, Canada side accept felons without extreme vetting for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A valid opinion, though my only purpose was to point out the forfeiture of those rights isn't unConstitutional. My personal preference would be a permanent forfeiture of the franchise, which is a restricted privilege rather than a right; and permanent forfeiture of 2nd Amendment protections for all violent offenders, specifically those who used a gun in the commission of a crime.

B-Man Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) DAMON LINKER: Al Franken Is Just The Beginning. “ Consider Joe Biden. A few short weeks ago, the former senator and vice president seemed like he would be a leading contender to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2020 and then the favorite to challenge President Trump’s bid for re-election. But now? Biden’s polling may look good, but he has a history of wandering hands that is simply incompatible with the new normal. He’s a political dead man.” Or this will all be old news by 2019. NEW: A woman says Sen. Al Franken inappropriately touched her in 2010, telling CNN that he grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/20/politics/al-franken-inappropriate-touch-2010/index.html … Not only she did tell family members at the time, she said something about it on Facebook http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/20/politics/al-franken-inappropriate-touch-2010/index.html … Lame response by Al, doesn't help.............. Franken statement to CNN: "I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people, and I certainly don't remember taking this picture. I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected." . Edited November 20, 2017 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
