It will never get to an expulsion vote. If (big if) Moore wins, it won't be in anyone's interest to push it.
Wonder if Democrats would vote not to expel Moore (if it got that far), on grounds of Senate norm not to expel for conduct voters knew about when voting (And it keeps Moore around which must hurt Republicans) [more here: http://electionlawblog.org/?p=96022 ]https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/931176719649828864 …

Think you underestimate harm to Republican brand to have Moore around every day

That may be, but consuming most of 2018 with an ethics investigation and trial won't help (plus would enrage R base)

Josh Marshall had a good take on expulsion yesterday.

They wouldn’t. You think their base would accept a vote to keep a pedophile in the senate? Really?

Then we could all reminisce about that five seconds Dems spent on the moral high ground.

I agree. If Moore is elected despite all of this stuff being known, it's a bad precedent of the senate ignoring a legitimate election because the guy is a human pile of garbage. I see no benefit to the dems to carrying water on expulsion.

Having Moore in the Senate is good for Dems politically. But if there is actually a vote (which would require Dem support to pass), having voted to keep him in the Senate would be even more politically costly for them.
