Trump Nominates Matt Gaetz as Attorney General

There it is. Props to Gaetz for talking about these things, but surely he knew he'd put a target on his back in doing so.

 

The Wikipedia link I posted seems to reflect that 17 year olds are deemed legally capable of consenting to sex in most states. I am not saying that age cutoff applied - legally or ethically - to the Gaetz’ investigation. However, the range of our age of consent laws is consistent with the fact that we see distinctions between 17 year olds and pre-pubescent little kids. The clinical definition of pedophilia is also consistent with such distinctions.

 

I got the impression from a couple of interviews with him that I watched following the announcement of the Gaetz nomination that although he found Gaetz disgusting he was inclined to vote to confirm Gaetz out of deference to Trump. Now I tend to agree with you especially since he called for release of the House Ethics Committee report on Gaetz. I also cannot see Collins and Murkowski voting to confirm. One more Republican Senator and Gaetz is gone. Interestingly, he can be seated in House when the new Congress convenes. His resignation was effective immediately and remains effective for the balance of this Congress. Since he won reelection he is technically a member of the House for the Congress that will convene in January since I do not believe that he indicated that he has declined to be seated when Congress reconvenes.

 

The RINOs are the Party of "values"...
