I'm not saying Franken wasn't in the wrong. I'm not saying that the allegations weren't true. But it can't just be that someone gets accused and they're over. There has to be some thought put behind how severe the punishment should be in relation to what he did. And he should absolutely have the right to be heard before judgment by a formal body* is passed.

Yeah, as his constituent, I don’t really think he was “forced” to resign. I think he knew the right thing to do and he did it, and I think it was coming before any of the senators said anything publicly.
