Yes. they need to be stripped of any committee membership, staff budgets reduced and given the cr$piest offices in the Senate building.

I remember an old tv western with Chuck Connors. He was a traitor (supposedly, in this instance) and the Captain ripped off his insignia and marched him out of the fort at the beginning of every episode.

I would love to see this happen to the “Trio”. I, however, am not a politician. (Thank goodness.)

The ways of the politicians are somewhat insidious. Not usually a full on attack.

I think I'll just keep an eye on what happens to the Trio that may fly under the wire. They could well be punished and forced to put a “D” by their names in other ways that we may not be aware of. From a publicity angle, marching them out of the fort right after the cowardly deed is done might not be a good thing.
