70. Not just YES, but a HAYELLLL F***ING YES from this Dem ...

What you've said Nance is 100% spot-on, and this move towards pushing Franken out by Dems is flat wrong, on so many levels, and I for one am PISSED.

Let the Ethics committee do their damn job at a minimum. If it comes out with a censure/guilty verdict, we can re-assess at that point. The man has earned that much.

Flat out disgusted with the Senate Dems leading the charge against him right now. I'm not saying it's 'nothing' if he's guilty, but this is NOT an 'imminent threat'. It's not like he's out molesting children and it won't stop unless he's removed from his Seat.
