Given our current political situation, just about any other remedy would be better.
Have him do public appearances in a straightjacket or the Hannibal Lecter restraints.
Let his accusers throw tomatoes at him.
Give him a chaperone.
The Senate is too close. And even the things he's accused of pale in comparison to what Trump or Moore has done, and there doesn't seem to be any rush on the GOP side to show those guys the door.
I'm wondering how many people think his misdeeds merit giving the GOP an even clearer path to finish up their tax bill and damage they want to do to the rest of us.
And everyone in the Senate who is calling for Al to resign should promise to permanently do away with the filibuster when Democrats regain the Senate because they shouldn't be allowed to hide behind that if they think they can afford to throw seats away.
