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.

I only expect D's to resign, because we have the higher moral ground now. Yeah, we have that going for us now.

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!

Could care less about the resignations. Sunlight is what we need. It’s not about individuals. They are all replaceable. It’s about society as a collective.
