A CNN article quoting people stating why they are still voting for him and/or while he did not do anything wrong is as compelling argument against democracy as there is. Especially in Alabama. I'm know there are good people there but suspension of the right to vote for everyone in the state is the most narrowly tailored remedy we could possibly fashion. We'll let Mississippi advocate on their behalf. And the state auditor???
Alabama state auditor Jim Zeigler used Biblical examples to argue that Moore's relationships were not inappropriate.
"Take the Bible: Zechariah and Elizabeth, for instance," Zeigler said. "Zechariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist. Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus. There's just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual."
In the Bible, Joseph was the husband of Mary, but Jesus is conceived through the Holy Spirit. Although Joseph is often popularly depicted as an old man and Mary as a youthful virgin, the Bible does not explicitly mention their ages.
Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist, are both described in Luke as "well stricken in years," according to the King James Bible.
There's nothing immoral or illegal about pedophilia? WHAT? WHAT??!??!? Fuck the vote revocation, we're walling off the entire state. Dear Alabama, you voted for Ziegler. Good-bye forever. BUILD THE WALL! BUILD THE WALL!
