Congress has nullified one state election already.
I’d hope they’d know better then overrule the voters again. There will be ample opportunity to discuss Franken’s misdeeds if he runs again.
The people in his state should decide if they want him as their Senator.
That said. It seems unlikely Franken would run against the Democrat that replaces him. He’d have no support at all.
If he was able to demonstrate true contrition (and I would let others, mostly women, be the judge of that), then perhaps. But, IMO, that would be incredibly unlikely.
Cite?
Are you reviving the question as it was asked or asking us what we personally would think?
How would that work? A commission? What would be ratio of male to female commissioners? Who would appoint them?
By leaving that question unanswered, the question stays as a Rorschach test sort of of query.
Huh? I’m not suggesting any official process, just my opinion.
Al Franken announced his last day as Senator will be January 2nd.
From his website regarding a speech delivered today (12-21-17):
From the article:
*"Franken ran through a litany of policies - including the newly passed tax bill, ObamaCare and climate change - where he said the Trump administration’s positions are at odds with what’s best for most Americans.
…
He questioned whether senators were “losing the war on truth.”
“Who will stand up and fight for more honest debate? … I hope that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will stand up for truth,” he said."*
Could have been you if you’d have kept your hands to yourself. :rolleyes:
After reading through the speech I can be sure your quotes nor your comment got the point. Nice dig though!!! :rolleyes:
Nothing says liberal hero like an NSA bootlicker and Iraq War booster.
I’m not sure I’d call the voluntary retirement of a 66-year-old man “extreme punishment”.

Wut?
Post 2 in this thread? That, in its entirety, is:
???
Franken got run out of the Senate due to 30-second attention span and the calculation that Moore would win.
They would have rather had Franken out of the picture and feasted on Moore. No such luck.
Good luck Dems. You are fucked by your own devices.
I’m a life-long liberal and spent a lot of time and dough backing up equal protection, but now I’m sick of your whining and mush-brained thinking.
I’m fixing to retire to a nice quiet place where I can sit on my porch with a quart of Jack Daniels and a shotgun and wait for one of you fags to show up.
