We should also prohibit Republican congressmen from employing young pages of the opposite sex, although Henry the Pompous might disagree: In 1982 fellow Illinois Republican Rep. Dan Crane was accused of having an affair with his 17 year old page. Crane confessed and it seemed he was going to be kicked out of the House until Hyde came to his rescue: We sit here not to characterize the crime, the breach, the transgression, because we all know that the transgression…is stipulated as reprehensible…He is embarrassed, he is humiliated, he is displaced…It will be with him, and it will be with his family as long as they live…Mr. Speaker, I suggest to the members that compassion and justice are not antithetical; they are complimentary. The Judeo-Christian tradition says, ‘Hate the sin and love the sinner.’ We are on record as hating the sin…I think it is time to love the sinner. (Bernstein, 69). First of all, Hyde obviously felt that Crane too was still capable of serving in office, despite that what he did was 2-5 hard time for statutory rape in some states. debate.uvm.edu And maybe we should prohibit men from teaching students of either gender: priority2.org
