This needs to happen tomorrow!
Let's have all their names - the House too. All will need to resign, proof or no proof, we only need accusations!

(2,091 posts)Oh, I see. They were too busy railroading an innocent man because they wanted the "high road".
I await Gillibrand's joining of Kaine in insisting on the names.
And, I anxiously await her applying the same standards of judgement....guilt upon accusation instead of an ethics investigation.....to the Republicans and the Democrats.
Of course that will never happen.
Throwing Franken's career under the bus was simple for Gillibrand....it will help score points for her massive political ambitions. Probably no points in going after the Republicans because she knows that they will fight back.

(5,937 posts)not like we have a habit of doing, but I'd prefer we not lose anymore. Asking for lists may hurt us more, and I don't mean real abusers should not be accountable, no matter what party, but the Franken standard really could cost us now that WE ( as in our party establishment) set the precedent!
