It's been 27 years since a senator was convicted of a felony. And it took the threat of expulsion for him to resign.
Make no mistake: It may take similar pressure to bounce Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) out of the Senate.
For Sen. Snowe, it seems to be a no-brainer:
"The public trust above all else must be upheld, and therefore I believe that stepping down would be the right thing to do."Sounds awfully straightforward to me.
But Sen. Collins won't call for him to resign. She apparently has no problem with a convicted felon continuing to serve in the upper chamber of the nation's legislature.
Did she send her ethical radar to Stevens, along with the $10,000?
