March 28, 2014: Gov. Jerry Brown Calls For Resignation Of Sens. Yee, Calderon, Wright

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – The California Senate voted Friday to suspend three lawmakers caught up in separate criminal cases after the latest one to be hauled into court refused to step down, the most serious house-cleaning action the chamber has taken in more than a century.

Friday’s 28-1 vote in the 40-member chamber came amid one of the most severe ethical crises in modern times for the Legislature in the nation’s most populous state.

In response to Friday’s vote, Gov. Jerry Brown called on all three lawmakers to resign.

“Given the extraordinary circumstances of these cases – and today’s unprecedented suspensions – the best way to restore public confidence is for these Senators to resign,” Brown said in a statement late Friday.

If they’ve been expelled by the Senate, isn’t resignation kind of irrelevant?
