Cliff's Notes for DU today: "I believe her... unless he is a liberal Democrat"

[Bucky]

21. Good questions

So what would satisfy your need for accountability?

An afternoon in the stocks? -- No
Five hundred cuts instead of a thousand? Bring me ketchup, your words are starting to taste funny.
Force him to listen to 10 hours of Kellyanne Conway tapes? - Prohibited by the 8th Amendment
An indignant lecture from Orrin Hatch about his lower middle class upbringing (while wearing a tailored suit that could have paid three months' rent for some of his less well-off constituents)? Now you're just being silly

I'm not the one responsible for that decision. If ... If he's found to have done these things, there are procedures. She might could sue him for harassment. The Senate might have a rebuke or censure option to exercise. The accusations obviously fall far short of expulsion. Clearly there's gonna be some further apologizing he'll do (again if the ethics inquiry bears out this all to be true.

I'm a real "let the punishment fit the crime" kind of guy. Let the process determine the crime first. In the mean time, let DUers quit betraying their feminist values and quit assuming she's lying because she accused someone we like.
