Santos is obviously guilty AF but that's not the legal standard here. Reactions: davethevol, rekinhavoc and StarRaider

So you don't think Menendez ought to be tossed? Your previous posts implied you thought he should be voted out because Santos was.

If you apply the same logic of indictment = ouster, then yes If you apply innocent until proven guilty, then No. I just think an indictment shouldn't = ouster
