So, if Lugar’s address was invalid when he last ran, he has been illegally serving and can be immediately removed. Is that the point of the Democrats’ holding??

The Senate is the final judge of its own members' qualifications (Art. I, sec. 5, cl. 1), and the Senate seated Lugar, so he can't be removed. I assume this was to embarass him when he runs for re-election.
