To see to what lengths the democrats will go to destroy a person's reputation and, hopefully, career, one has only to hearken back to Sept.-Oct. Of 1991 and refresh memories of the attempted moral assassination of Justice Clarence Thomas. The Senate was owned by the democrats and this debacle happened in the Judiciary Committee headed by Joe (God love ya) Biden. In 1990, Thomas had been thoroughly examined by the committee and with only one dissenting vote appointed to the federal bench in D.C. His record and background were considered impeccable. In 1991, the dems had two problems: Thomas had just been considered the year before as the purest/best thing since sliced bread and he was African-American when there was no black on the court since Justice Thurgood Marshall, also black, had just resigned account poor health. Just as is the case with Moore, the only way to deep-six Thomas was to smear him morally. His worthiness was already concretely established. Triggered apparently by the staffs of senators Metzenbaum and Kennedy, the name of Anita Hill, who had worked for Thomas in two government agencies and then kept up at least a phone correspondence long afterward, was discovered in Oklahoma and after weeks of arm-twisting finally agreed to make a damaging statement but only if the FBI not be involved. When it became clear what was happening, the White House Counsel finally got the FBI to investigate. Result: Nothing wrong found. I watched the hearings on C-Span (lurid at times). Other women appeared suddenly to back up Hill, just as now, but the attempt at “high-tech lynching” (Thomas's characterization) was continued. Remember “long-dong-silver” or the “coke-can and pubic hair” stuff that was too lewd for TV, actually. Biden had to cave or write off the black vote so Thomas was approved.
Moore is a graduate of West Point and was a U.S. Army Company Commander in Viet Nam. He has been through a number of campaigns in the last few decades with no charges of immorality ever brought up. He's been elected to the Alabama Supreme Court twice and has been chief justice. He is hated by both democrat and republican establishments because he's a maverick and says what he thinks. He lost his court terms twice (on principle), once because he wouldn't enforce same-sex marriage and once for not removing the Ten Commandments from the capitol rotunda. That kind of sacrifice is noteworthy. Military officers are allowed to disobey any order they consider illegal so Moore was following that tradition. It cost him.
Ironically, democrat New Jersey Senator Menendez has just been through a long trial concerning charges of corruption—some details are slimy—and the jury is deliberating his fate (probably go free in NJ). Or more ironically, was the slime committed by Harry Reid, Barack Obama and Senator Durbin in 2009 when they actually locked the legally appointed successor to Obama in the Senate out of the capitol. The Court turned them around and Burris took his seat and served out the term. And then, of course, there's Hillary, the infamous tarmac-turnaround and the skewering of Sanders by the democrats. Beside the democrats, Moore appears as a saint and has been indicted by the Washington Post, not any jury, on charges that can never be corroborated, just as in the Thomas case.
