One unfortunate part of the Moore scandal is that it detracts from his past professional conduct, which is not subject to speculation and which is almost as reprehensible. He has no respect for the law when it does not fit his very narrow and bigoted view of the world. That should be the basis for his defeat, not allegations that have virtually no chance of being proven prior to the December election.
Of course, we all know the scandal is the only thing that might bring him down at this point because too many Alabamans share his view of the world.
