There is none yet. He needs to resign or be expelled. Beyond being a hypocrite, breaking the law should not be countenanced for a member of the nation's legislature. He wants rehab, something he would not make available to the average person on the street. Anyone else likely would have ended up with a felony and a few bruises too.

Adding: Notice the crickets chirping from the Teabagger section and the RW media.
