Independence Streak: Meredith Eviction and Ethics Committee

independence streak: But constitutional reality suggests the forced Meredith eviction will never happen, according to CTV. The ethics committee heard Meredith's side of the story this week, which was basically to agree to a statement of sordid facts with a plea for forgiveness. His disgraceful stalking of a teenage girl, who eventually and reluctantly succumbed to a sexual relationship under the heavy sway of his honorable title, is toxic to a Senate trying to rehabilitate itself in public esteem. But even as a Red Chamber with a fresh independence streak, senators will invariably act as they've always done It's all about preserving the club under the cover of the Constitution, a cozy club where membership is almost impossible to revoke without a criminal conviction in court. His attendance meets the requirement so, unless he revokes his citizenship, declares bankruptcy, commits treason or gives up the pittance of property a sitting Senator must own, he's in the clear. Meredith may have been busted for warped predatory behavior, but he has committed no act giving his fellow senators the constitutional grounds for an unprecedented ouster. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
