>>Even if the Alabama voters are as stupid as their governor and this child molester gets elected - he will be the first senator expelled since 1862 - unless he resigns like republican Bob Packwood of Oregon. He resigned in 1995 as it became clear he would almost certainly be expelled for sexual harassment and other misconduct.

>I have a question: Would Moore have been a "child molester" if he had been in Hawaii when these "sexual" allegation happened? I believe the age of consent at that time in Hawaii was 14.
In the strict legal sense he would not of been considered a "child molester" had it happened in the 1970's in Hawaii (which of course it did not) - however since these advances were unwanted there would still be the legal issue of sexual assault. That being said, a guy who is over 30 and targets 8th grade junior high girls 14 years old shouldn't be a senator either.
