It's pure political bullshit (which, based on what you've said about his replacement is apparently all that matters to you).

And as Gillibrand decided to use this to build her own brand, she helped kick him out the fucking door while she introduced his bill and took credit for it? That's some dirty shit.

Can't we, as lawyers, use due process properly. Look, no constitutional violation of Franken's rights occurred. A lot of people in his party called for him to quit and he quit. You may want more process, he decided at the time he wasn't willing to fight for more process, and, frankly, it may well be he didn't want more digging.

Among past political wrongs to cry over, my list goes somewhat like this:

(1) The way Hillary Clinton was treated by the Press.
(2) The way Hillary Clinton was treated by the Bernie Bros.

.....

(100) The way Franken was treated.

.....

(1000) The way poor Bernie Sanders was treated

.....

(infinity) whatever the orange haired shitgibbon is complaining about



But, really, we don't need the whining. He made his choices.
