Now if you could demonstrate that a person has acted with extreme racial bias in their career that would be a compelling reason for me to have them fired, impeached, resign, etc.

I think that most people realize this, even democrats, but their treatment of Kavanaugh versus the Democrats who are currently being shamed is evidence not of "higher moral sensibilities" but of simply politically motivated hypocrisy.

"But the prosecutor in me can’t help but think of the years listening to judges tell juries that there is no crime without criminal intent."

So now the democrats are arguing that the actions of these democrats should not lead to them losing their job because their was no criminal intent. Reminds me of the defense of Hillary Clinton.

Have they been indicted for a crime?

Not that I am aware. But that is certainly not the standard, if they said that their would be outrage and a huge outcry. Kavanaugh was not indicted for a crime.

Kavanaugh is a Supremie.

Apparently Northam has had some kind of a conversion experience, where he now realizes that slavery and racism is wrong. But also apparently the conversion fell short. He now calls slaves indenture servants. He's staying in office to remove all racism from the state of Virginia.

It's Fairfax that could be indicted.

Who said this?

It's pure nonsense. Crimes are committed all the time without "intent."

E.g. negligent homicide.

I agree. Since when did we have to prove intent? Now for a homicide you have 1st degree indicating they planned out the event which obviously indicates intent, 2nd degree -- killed a person without intent, and manslaughter which indicates an accident or negligent homicide.

But could someone get away with fraud because they couldn't prove intent?

What I don't like about all this is there is no forgiveness. Kid does something stupid in HS and 30 years later they want to run him out on rails.

I've been wondering that for some time. That's why I try, and sometimes fail, to present Christianity and politics.

Thanks. Maybe we can get back to that.

This might not have politics but it is about the church. It was on Drudgereport earlier. Methinks that just might make it political :

The common denominator is that they are made up of humans ... and even the new man in Christ can't abolish that.

An elder in the c. in Ft. Lauderdale lost his wife. About a year later he was dating. He told me, "the flesh is a megaphone, and the spirit is a whisper."
