Since it’s too late to change the name on the ballot, Republicans may attempt some sort of “refuse to seat him/he resigns/appoint new Senator” gambit, which basically amounts to “you’re just voting for the Republican ticket, not this particular Republican. Trust us to sort out the details.”
mayhaps.
My mistake. This is the tactic they’re taking.
“Take the Bible. Zachariah and Elizabeth for instance. Zachariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist,” Ziegler said choosing his words carefully before invoking Christ. “Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”
Actual quote from the Alabama State Auditor, defending Roy Moore. Not denying it, just saying preying on teenagers is Biblically justified.
Holy crap. Let’s remember the Bible has been used to justify slavery, outlawing mixed race marriages, and probably whacking off in a tool shed on a Sunday.
But you can still legally marry your cousin in Alabama. 😉
