What can and should the Senate do if Roy Moore becomes Senator Moore? If the polls are any indication, Moore stands a great chance of winning the special election Tuesday in Alabama, in spite of the accusations of sexual misconduct that hit the media about a month ago. Moore has maintained his innocence, and just last week one of his accusers admitted she added a note to the now infamous yearbook inscription that she previously presented as key evidence to bolster her story.

The pro- and anti-Moore camps are sharply divided. Many believe there is still sufficient question surrounding the controversy to render Moore unfit for office, while others are staunch supporters and believe he is innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately for the election, the “proving” part won’t happen before Alabama voters cast their ballots (if ever, since no allegations thus far reported will result in criminal prosecution).
