Klobuchar: If Moore Wins He Can Be Expelled After an Ethics Committee Investigation
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2017 | pam key

Posted on 11/12/2017 8:13:22 PM PST by bkopto

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) discussed the report in The Washington Post that accused former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct.

She said if Moore were to win in the December 12 U.S. Senate special election, he could be expelled if an ethics committee finds wrongdoing in an investigation.

Klobuchar said, “We may not have much choice on that, but we have choice on something else. That is that you can expel a senator once they are in with two-thirds of the vote after the ethics committee does an investigation.

You mean like they did with McCain after his involvement with Charles Keating was discovered?

I think the voting public needs to reinstate the guillotine for members of the Senate. They are out of control.

Is it ethical to condemn a man without due process?

Is she a lawyer?

How about Bill Clinton diddling a 19 year old in the White House and to this day the Bush’s are palling around with good ole Bill. Oh and Graham testifying for Menendez. How many senators do you guess are perverts? I’d say realistically 20 to 35.

If Moore wins and they pull this stunt, there will be a lot of allegations
coming out against a lot of Senators.

I don’t think they want to open this can of worms.

The intent is to smear all Republicans in 2018.
Media’s “Republican War On Women” meme redux.

People are more sophisticated than the media and the RINOs think. There are real issues that people are concerned about.

Why wait? Judge Moore should be pointing out the corrupt Senaturds serving right now. Starting with John McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal. Robert Menenedez’s corruption trial. I’m sure there are others.

ANOTHER attempt to ignore an election and install the “right” person? Look at all the dung they tried and are still trying to void the last presidential election.

He needs to go all Donald Trump and do what you said. Start naming the names now and let them have it with both barrels. Maybe even use their nicknames..Turtle, Linda, McStain, Willard, the whole bunch.
