The point everyone is missing is that Franken already made up his mind to resign [View all]

I have no idea what he is thinking or how he came to his conclusion, but I think he reached this decision on his own and the calls to resign have nothing to do with his decision. They are just attempts (feeble ones to be sure) to appear to do and say the right things in light of his decision so they won't look like hypocrites when they demand the Senate refuse to seat Moore after next week's election.

It's all jumbled up, some pretty faulty reasoning, but it is done. Let's just hope that a Democrat who can get elected next year is appointed and that the appointment is done quickly so that the Republicans do not have any additional advantage while the seat is empty.
