In reply to the discussion: What did Franken do [View all]Now that's funny. He stands accused of forcible rape of a 14 year old. His pal,Epstein is still doing time for similar crimes. He had deep pockets and still could not get out of the case - cases he faced. Many have come forward since with credible cases against the serial monster. Watch the tape on Access Hollywood (ABC) and listen to what he says. This is pointless. Everyone who ever knew him would tell you the kind of man he is. I hope he gets his day,many of them in a court of law.

There is no difference between "unwanted flirtation" and predatory behavior.

The issue isn't whether the behavior is acceptable; it's what the penalty should be.

Resigning from office isn't ending his life. We aren't throwing him in prison.

Are you even remotely concerned at all for the women who have accused Franken?

Thanks for this. I think you have made the argument but I fear the momentum may push him out.

Exactly! His alledged offenses are on a completely different level than alledged offenses

I believe he is entitled to the ethics investigation he requested.

Of course but I'm concerned with due process also one doesn't override the other

Or, you know, they could pose for photos and not inappropriately grab women...

So, you have convicted him of the accusations? Maybe wait until he speaks first.
