Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb ...

Here's a piece from WaPo that suggests going slow, or not even, expelling Santos from Congress.

He should have been expelled yesterday, or last month, or the day his lack of ethics became obvious.

But no, here's piece that says "oh no, we can't set a precedent that might someday be used badly". Oh, no, not a bad precedent that might someday be possibly used in a way we don't like.

That way just encourages bad acts - because they are never punished.

Politicians who lie and cheat - whether in Congress on SCOTUS or as governors - are a fetid scum on our political pond.
