    Can’t they just remove Tuberville from that committee? The fact they don’t shows they are complicit.

        For better or worse, removing a Senator is hard to do. The Senate would need two thirds of Senators to agree with this removal. Even if every Democrat agreed (and I’m even including Sinema and Manchin here), you’d still need 17 Republicans to vote for it.

        Of course, it’s a good thing that it’s hard to do this. Otherwise, the next time Republicans controlled the Senate, they’d start kicking out Democrats one after another for the most idiotic of reasons.
