Democrats Will Regret Forcing Al Franken to Resign

9. I think this may have been satire...the original post, that is.

It is the weakest argument that can possibly be advanced.

I don't object to a member of Congress being asked to resign over sexual harassment. The only thing I object to is that Franken didn't get due process, and in a larger sense a zero tolerance policy opens the gates for anyone who wants to allege anything they want to 'come forward' and then watch in leisure as the axe falls on the one they've accused without having to go through those inconvenient rigors of actually proving their allegation.

I've been alive a long time, and have found that every single grouping of people, whether men, women, LGBTQ, different races or ethnicities, or religions, has a continuum of people: on the one end, there are angelic beings who walk on water they are so good, and on the other end, psychotic dirtbags who would betray anyone for even a small advantage. Then, everyone else falls in between those two ends. Zero tolerance policies, without the rigors of due process, open the gates to the dirtbags.

That's all I'm saying. I suspect that's all most people who are objecting to the way Franken was railroaded are saying. It's not Franken per se, but the lack of due process.
