If Roy Moore wins, as a practical matter, wouldn't Senate have to go through some sort of due process before expulsion? Would senators just say, 'We believe the newspapers' and then expel him? Quite a precedent...

Everyone is automatically a rapist now if media says so without due process except Bill Clinton. Why are his victims allowed to be silenced and he have a pass? Bill Clinton is a rapist

You can HATE sexual harassment and still not give in to the raging lynch mob that says disregard the usual protections you think reasonable people are entitled to. That's possible. "Due process" is not just a legal term, it underpins a belief in fairness, even for the accused.

SHARIA/ FOREIGN LAW PROHIBITION JUST PASSED ALABAMA STATE SENATE

◼ I just received word that the American Laws for American Courts bill, SB4, authored by Senator Gerald Allen, just passed the Alabama state senate. Congratulations, freedom lovers. (hat tip Chris Holton) - Pamela Gellar/Atlas Shrugs

◼ SB 4 Alabama Senate Bill

The three-way races in Alabama and Mississippi

◼ link - Michael Barone/Washington Examiner via AEI

Will Alabama and Mississippi clear the field? I asked in a recent blogpost. The results are in and the answer is: To the contrary. These were close three-way races. But Rick Santorum’s wins in both Alabama and Mississippi ensure that he will stay in the race. His low-key election night speech, delivered in Lafayette, Louisiana, a locus of the state’s offshore oil drilling industry, claimed victory for his “grass roots” campaign over “the establishment” which was on the other side. He called on “conservatives to hold together,” in an obvious attempt to get Newt Gingrich to withdraw. But Gingrich, in his election night speech delivered in Birmingham, Alabama, made it clear he was continuing. He dismissed Mitt Romney as a front-runner that keeps running third and his campaign, in a memo released before the polls closed insisted that the race is far from over; but not very convincingly. As for Romney, he had hoped to win these two close three-way races; instead he finished a pretty close third in both....

Santorum and Gingrich in their election night speeches did not have the attitude of winners, while Mitt Romney, as least as this is written, has not appeared. What Romney has done this week is to win the lion’s share of delegates in the territories—Guam, Northern Marianas and Virgin Islands so far with American Samoa (whose population is 22% Mormon) and Puerto Rico still to come. The delegate counts so far are as follows, with 9 delegates in American Samoa and 20 in Hawaii still to be determined:

The bottom line is that despite his third place finishes, Romney has been doing just fine in delegates this week.

While you were sleeping, Romney rebounds to win Hawaii and American Samoa

◼ What it means: - IBD

Great headlines for Santorum last night, probably today too, as he tries to grasp The Ring as conservative alternative to Romney.

But guess what? Nothing changes. Due to the new proportional allocation, Santorum, Gingrich and Romney will each get about a third of the Alabama and Mississippi convention delegates. And Romney's lead of about 250 delegates remains intact.

Except -- oh, wait! -- after everyone went to bed on the mainland, Romney won all nine delegates from American Samoa. And in the Hawaii caucuses, he won again, capturing 45% of the votes and the lion's share of the 17 delegates. Santorum trailed with 25%, followed by Paul at 19% with Gingrich back at 11%.

So once again, the results of Santorum's big wins are that Romney's lead widens a little more. Even better news for the former governor, Santorum and Gingrich both vowed to press on, meaning voters who don't prefer Romney will still split.

...if Gingrich is serious about mounting a comeback, Louisiana may well present his best opportunity. It will be interesting to see if the polls shift in response to Santorum’s wins last Tuesday night, and change the Gingrich campaign’s calculations about whether such a comeback is still even remotely possible.

Santorum sweeps Alabama, Mississippi primaries

Mitt Romney was running third in both states.

"We did it again," Santorum told cheering supporters in Lafayette, La. He said it was time for conservatives to unite in an effort to defeat Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is the faraway leader in the competition for Republican National Convention delegates.

Romney bristled in the hours before the votes were counted, saying Santorum was "at the desperate end of his campaign."

But it was Gingrich with the most to lose as he struggled for political survival in a part of the country he hoped would fuel one more comeback in the unpredictable race to pick an opponent to President Barack Obama.

He congratulated Santorum on his victories, and poked at Romney. "If you're the front-runner and you keep coming in third, you're not much of a front-runner," he said in Birmingham, Ala.

Mini-Super Tuesday in the South: Alabama, Mississippi vote

Early exit poll results show Rick Santorum slightly ahead in Alabama and Mississippi a three-way toss-up between Santorum, Romney, and Newt Gingrich. CNN exits showed Romney and Santorum tied among evangelicals.

Romney has outspent Santorum and Gingrich 4 to 1.

Republicans Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney battled on Monday for conservative support in Mississippi and Alabama ahead of presidential primaries that polls showed have turned into tense three-way ties.

Alabama and Mississippi polls: Gingrich on top, but not by much

◼ A slew of new polls have recently been released showing that the Presidential campaign in the southern states is essentially a dead heat. Newt Gingrich appears to have a tenuous lead over the other candidates but, in almost every poll, he is within the statistical margin of error. - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion
In Alabama, Rasmussen reported Gingrich on top with 30%, while Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum were close behind at 29% and 28% respectively.

Mississippi presents a bit of a conundrum with its conflicting poll numbers. An American Research Group poll has Newt leading Romney by four points 35%-31%, and Santorum lagging way behind with 20%. However, a recently released Rasmussen poll has Romney leading the state with 35%, while Newt and Santorum are deadlocked at 27% apiece. Its not immediately clear why the two polls, taken only one day apart, came up with such differing results among the candidates but, as with Alabama, it appears to indicate that there is still room for any of the top 3 candidates to push their way to victory in the state.
