“It’s a very slippery slope if you start punishing senators for holding unpopular views and exercising their rights on the Senate floor,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) told Politico. “That’s not what I think of the Ethics Committee as being for. I don’t see how this is an ethics complaint.”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will have to appear in front of a “secretive” Senate ethics panel, according to Politico, over allegations that “two senators played a role in inciting the violent Capitol attack,” by objecting to certifying presidential electors from several key states.
The Senate Ethics Committee, which Politico describes as “one of the most secretive committees in Congress” will review the cases against both Hawley and Cruz after several leading Democrats made an official ethics complaint to committee head, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) on January 21st.
