Also hypothetically. What if he doesn’t step down and he is proven to be a rapist. would you be willing to override the will of the people and throw him in jail? or are you just going to admit you’re part of the problem?
You're projecting. You want to see Platner lose by any means necessary, so you assume I must want him to serve as Senator by any means necessary. I don't want to see a rapist serve in the Senate. But I also don't want to establish or reinforce the precedent that Republicans can derail any Democrat just by getting someone to make an accusation in conservative-owned media a week before a critical deadline. Is that the case here? I have no evidence she's lying. But I also have no evidence that Platner is lying. One of these people is lying, and that's why we have courts and trials. We try these things in court, not in the court of public opinion.
So yes, I certainly would be willing to overrule the will of the people. That's why we have laws and trials, with rights and procedures. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. Like, when did not punishing people without trial become a controversial opinion?
Senators aren't exempt from state-level felony convictions. You can absolutely try them, convict them, and throw their ass in prison.
that alone should be disqualifying, nevermind the fact that there is good evidence (which you don’t like so wahhahaha crybaby cry!)
Well it's clearly not very good, as you have little confidence it will succeed at trial.
