Senate GOP campaign chairman calls for Moore to be expelled if he wins
The Hill ^ | Nov. 13, 2016 | Ben Kamisar

Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), who leads the Senate GOP campaign arm, is calling on the Senate to expel embattled Alabama GOP nominee Roy Moore if Moore wins December's special election, the first GOP senator to publicly raise the specter of expulsion.

"I believe the individuals speaking out against Roy Moore spoke with courage and truth, proving he is unfit to serve in the United States Senate and he should not run for office," Gardner said "If he refuses to withdraw and wins, the Senate should vote to expel him, because he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate."

Under the Senate rules, a vote of two-thirds of the body can expel a Senator. That would be historic — the Senate hasn't expelled a member since 1862.

I don’t know if this Cory fellow and the rest of these people know what kind of fire they’ll set if they keep this up. They are playing a very dangerous game.

“With Trump coming in, they had the opportunity to completely dominate federal elections for years and years... but instead, they are setting themselves on fire.”

All that Trump did was to simply expose these people for who they really are. The insanity of liberal Dems, the corrupt GOPe, etc

This isn't going to turn out well for the Stupid Party.

What patriotic American would want to be in a foxhole with these cowards much less vote for them in the next election?

I've never seen such a pack of spineless turd suckers in my life. At least the Democrats stand for things and fight like crazy for them even if they are the wrong things.

No, they have no reason to. Charges does not equal lack of ethics.

They cannot force Alabama to have a different Senator than the one they voted for.

Perhaps we need to start a movement to kick Teddy Kennedy’s grave out of Arlington Cemetery because he was a sexual predator and murderer...

Maybe Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) should be working on that instead.

I have a proposal which should be trumpeted far and wide: MSM, Democraps, and RINO Senators are not allowed even to DISCUSS the allegations against Moore unless they affirm that Bill Clinton should have been removed from office after being impeached by the US House in 1998.

Never leave a ballot blank. Write in someone or anyone can fill in anything they want.

Ditto to that, he’s not getting my family’s vote again either.

What does the common house cat have in common with Senator Cory Gardener?

Answer: They are both PUSSIES!

This the fool whose 13 year old daughter was fondled by Joe Biden ON CAMERA at his Senate swearing in while he stood there grinning.
Seriously.

Watch the video, Watch that child’s face and body language as the perv VP touches her chest with his fingers and knuckles right beside her mom and Dad.

Joe did the same thing to every tween and girl at the swearing in. He got Mitch McConnels little girl too.

“he does not meet the ethical and moral requirements of the United States Senate.”

Correct, he’s not a bottom-feeding, scum-sucking, lying, thieving, perverted POS. If there is one single person in the US Senate that has any ethics or morals, he or she is doing a darn good job of hiding. The whole bunch of them would sell their mother for a bag of votes.

Is there a provision in the Constitution that allows a party to expel an ELECTED Senator from a sovereign state and nullify the will of their citizens?

Article I, section 5, clause 2: "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member."

These people continue to give ‘we the people’ the middle finger. We desperately need term limits on these corrupt b@$t@rds!

This threat needs a counter threat: that *any* Republican senator who joins with the Democrats to expel him will get the full force of conservatives across the US to kick him out of the senate or any other elective office.

<>If they in fact do this, they can kiss the Republican Party good bye<>

Indeed. While no pubbie wants to lose his seat, the GOP isn’t comfortable in the majority. It freezes at the thought of criticism from the media, LGBT or muzzies.

If the GOP abandons Moore and he loses or is elected and booted from the senate, President Trump will be truly all alone come January 2019, when the rats once again control the House.
