In this political climate though....you are sacrificing your bad for their worse and they will not reciprocate.
I just don't believe anyone should step down until they show good faith and get rid of the rapist in the WH and refuse to seat their pedophile from Alabama.
Then and only then will I agree to asking our bad apples to step aside.
For the record....I believe the attacks on Franken are coordinated hit jobs. I don't believe them.

(3,827 posts)Scott isn't allowed to fill a vacancy from the House of Representatives - but if it were the Senate he could appoint a RWNJ.
U.S. House of Representative vacancies are always filled an election (either a regular election or a special election). See Article II Section 2 of the United States Constitution:
When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.
