so what is that?? some 1/2 measure like purgatory in Catholicism?

He's guilty enough to lose the Chair, but not enough to resign?

He didn't "lose" the Chair. He resigned as Ranking Member.

Here's his statement:

He has done nothing wrong as far as anyone has proven.

As I keep telling liberals who thirst for the blood of Roy Moore, accusations are not evidence.

but this is not a court of law either, where "guilty beyond reasonable doubt" is in play.
It's more like civil law where a "preponderance of the evidence" is used as the standard..

If that is the standard ( and it's barely that), then I can't see such 1/2 measures as resigning the chair

Your opinion doesn't alter the facts.

The case is settled, and therefore it is closed. He paid a settlement, as is the case 97% of the time in civil cases. No admission of wrongdoing was made, and none can be inferred.

No one is guilty until proven guilty, and there has been no evidence presented. Only allegations.

I will. If you don't know who paid it (which I don't believe, BTW), you have no standing to discuss this matter, IMO.

The source of the funds used to pay a settlement is irrelevant.

As they do in all such cases, I believe.

Treasury maintains a fund for the purpose.

And finally there is mention of a bill to get rid of that fund. There is no reason for tax payer to be paying settlements, fines or anything else for wrong doings ( or supposed wrong doings) of elected officials.

Good luck. A case can be made that it's cheaper and more effective to settle at the public expense than it is to subject elected officials to that kind of personal risk.

Tort reform (which is the issue here) has been talked about for decades. I doubt anything will change.
