    Democrat submits to ethics review as Moore denies allegations
    Shifting attitudes about sexual harassment forcing changes

Allegations about improper sexual conduct by a Democratic senator and a Republican senatorial candidate are forcing the Senate to confront a difficult dilemma: where to draw the line and how to mete out punishment.

How should Democrat Al Franken of Minnesota be dealt with after an allegation he forced his tongue in a woman’s mouth and appeared to grope her while she slept? Should Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore be thrown out of the chamber if he wins election on Dec. 12 because of accusations he sexually assaulted or fondled teenage girls when he was in his 30s?

I'll bet there is a lot to come and percentage-wise, I think it will be mostly democrats but unfortunately, I"m sure some republicans will be caught in the mire too. It is like Lindsay Graham said, let's just get their names (which, would probably require some reflection, the truth of the matter may not be that simple). There is no excuse for these politicians to have acted in this manner.

I believe it was in the news that the Senate and House have paid out some amount in lawsuits over SH, maybe it was $15 million. We should know hows, whys and whom in this case.

One of these members of congress also the report said exposed his genitals on the floor of congress, this is outrageous stuff.

I read one website is offering $20,000 for revealing the name of any of these sexual harassers in congress, this is outrageous stuff.
