National Review's call for Roy Moore to drop out of the Alabama race because "there is no such thing as a statute of limitations on standards" reminds us of an uncomfortable statistical fact, once widely accepted and prosaically expressed as "all men are sinners." Moore may or may not be guilty of sexual indiscretion, but the possibility is not excluded in principle. An earlier generation could probably quote 1 John 1:8 -- "if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" -- to remind themselves of this. Alternatively, they might cite James Madison.

They never were special. They just knew how to game the system to stay in power—and/or, they got lucky.

And this shows why we should limit what power others have over us.
