DWI is a choice and endangers others. Leaders set the example. They are standard-bearers, so the bar is high (no pun intended). If she is unwilling to uphold the standards expected of a Senator and ordained minister, then she should relinquish the responsibilities entrusted to her. Judge her spiritually? No, only God can do so but in terms of the obligations she willingly accepted? Absolutely! A higher standard is expected of those who write the laws of a state and the covenants for a church. There is no balance sheet wherein good deeds from the past offset a complete abrogation of authority and the responsibility associated therewith. Reverence and respect for the office and the high standards associated therewith must be safeguarded or there will be none.
