As a former female Army officer, I am part of "me too". But, until and unless the Republicans play by the same rules, Al Franken should stay in the Senate and go before the Ethics Commission. Ole Judge Moore - he said that he didn't do it and the Republicans "believe" him. The "moral high ground" won't get you anywhere in Congress with the Republicans at the helm. They do not recognize any moral high ground unless it is the burial ground for Democrats.
