(1,107 posts)I agree women have been denied due process for far too long. Sexual assault should be taken seriously.
However, exactly how does denying someone else due process achieve the goal of having women listened to?
What about the dozens of women who worked with Franken for him both in the Senate and SNL who signed their names in a letter of support for him?
What about their voices? Are they not credible? Why should we not also consider what they say?
4 of Frankens accusers are anonymous.
2 have ties to right wing liars and known rat fuckers.
The remaining 2 offer very flimsy accounts .
The due process for a Senator is an Ethics Committee hearing. Depending on the findings a Senator may be absolved, censured or expelled.
Why could that not have happened?
