Justin Fairfax is not being Franken'd

[Drunken Irishman]

152. Just stop.

You're embarrassing yourself.

There becomes a point where an elected official is so tainted and toxic that he must step aside for the better of his party and country/state - see Richard Nixon. If you recall, Nixon resigned before an impeachment hearing.

Fairfax is hurting his state and his party. He can't effectively govern in a situation that is becoming increasingly pathetic by the day. Moreover, it's also putting the entire government in Virginia in a very terrible spot with an already impotent governor who's battling his own issues.

The only sane, responsible thing to do is for him to step aside and resign.

And no, liberals aren't for due process. They weren't with Kavanaugh and they won't be with the next Republican embroiled in scandal - and absolutely MANY liberals were pushing for Moore to drop out of his race when the allegations crept up in that race. And, without doubt, most here felt Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court should have been pulled - and rightfully so. Kavanaugh should not be on the court. The 'investigation' didn't prove anything.

Fairfax needs to resign. There is simply no justification, or rationalization, for keeping him in power.
