Yes.
Forgive me for adding more to an already overlong response, just thinking of past issues.
I was a fan of Barney Frank sticking it out when his shit hit the paper and am glad he did. I was not a fan of Studds sticking it out in the same period - his misbehavior involved pages, the evidence was quite clear, and he crossed a different line. Barney really never got a real hearing because there were many people who convicted him of being gay so hiring a prostitute he later married wasn't his greatest sin, so he just took it and stuck it out. Studds should have lost his seat.
So I think the "process" issue isn't cut or dried. Fuckin nuance.
