Living down to expectations

Just when you think it can't get any worse, the citizens living in the state of Alabama nominated a sweaty, bible thumping ignoramus who is virtually assured of election to "The world's greatest deliberative body" in November.  This is a man who has been held in contempt by the US Supreme Court for instructing state employees to refuse to recognize same sex marriage.  The rule of law is something Moore recognizes only when it aligns with his prejudices.  He will replace the ethically compromised Luther Strange, who was an interim appointment by a corrupt governor who needed to stop Strange's investigation of his sexual peccadillos.  Admittedly the electorate in Alabama was presented with 2 seriously flawed candidates.  But they didn't disappoint.  Now we will be treated to the spectacle of another racist, misogynist, homophobic theocrat holding forth in the Senate on these and other retrograde policies.
