The Fix Analysis

The six likeliest ways this whole Roy Moore saga could end, ranked

By Amber Phillips November 16 at 9:17 AM

Roy Moore's list of accusers — and enemies — is growing. The Washington Post reported Wednesday that two other women say he pursued them while they were teenage mall employees and he was in his 30s. One claims he gave her a forceful, unwanted kiss.
....

What happens next is anyone's guess. Here are the likeliest scenarios for what happens to Moore, ranked from least likely (6) to most likely (1).

6. Moore drops out before the Dec. 12 election: Why is this ranked least likely? Because Moore has been defiant to his core. He has tried to frame these allegations in a way that fits neatly with his campaign: It's the world vs. him.

1. Moore stays in the race, wins and the Senate expels him.

Yes, this is the likeliest option, which is crazy since the Senate hasn't successfully expelled one of its own senators since the Civil War. But it can be done. Constitutional law scholar Josh Chafetz with Cornell University said the Senate has the constitutional right to kick out anyone for whatever reason.

1. Damned WaPo pay wall.

R&K regardless.

Maybe somebody can post the list without the commentary.

2. Try going in through your local public library.

A lot of them have online subscriptions to the WaPo. If you have a library card, you have access.

3. Thanks. But it's 18 miles (each way) to the nearest public library

I don't get that direction often. I do have a card, though. Just a bit inconvenient for one article.

Much appreciated anyway.

4. You should be able to do it online.

I mean, from your computer at home. Go to your library's website. See if there is a link to their online service. It might be something like Gale or Overdrive. I'm not sure. They can tell you. You log in with your library card number and read the article in the privacy of your own home.

See if you can do that.

HTH.

5. Not sure if they have online.

It doesn't look like it. Very small town.

Oh, and at home is in the midst of the Manistee National Forest, where there is no Cable TV, no broadband INet, no WiFi, no city water or sewers, etc. My INet access is via cellular, only very recently available here, and barely so on my iPhone, but okay on my iPad.

It's nice here, but we're down to bear skins and bone knives here, so to speak.

My best to you.
As always, Thanks.

6. Oh, that raises complications.

Now I get it.

Anyway, if you can, find out what app they recommend for reading periodicals on mobile devices. Just about every library ought to be able to do that. Mine uses Overdrive, which you can get from the Apple Store or Google Play. In your case, the Apple Store.

Best wishes.
