    "Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), the administration panel's chairman, aligned himself with female lawmakers' push for change.

    "There is no place for sexual harassment in our society, period — and especially in Congress," Harper told fellow members, urging them to use an "even higher standard" for their own behavior and that of their employees.

    Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.), a veteran employment attorney, proposed that lawmakers be required to pay for resolving workplace misconduct disputes that occur in their offices, a change from the current system that spends taxpayer money on confidential settlements."

    These members of Congress should be named and they should resign or be expelled.

    Based purely on the allegations? No proof required?

    LOL Neat way to get rid of anyone that you don't like , or disagree with.

    Whatever proof can be provided should be required as for any allegation.

    As in Roy Moore's case, none at all?

    BTW, isn't this the same body that wants to bar Moore from serving? Didn't they pay out $15 million in hush money for their members?

    Slightly hypocritical, wouldn't you say?
