Looking at the way the fine folks in the Senate are handling Doctor Senator Coburn, it appears that they're more concerned with defining their jobs up than protecting the ethics of the chamber.
Perhaps from the start they knew they'd need to send a message to the good doctor, lest he shake up their cozy business as usual routine.
If it were a Democratic Senate, I'd take it as par for the course for the bloviators to think that pushing paper and pampering egos was more important than birthing babies.
Since it's a Republican Senate, I can only conclude that it makes no difference.
Should the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee come calling again this year, they'll be told that there is no chance of my donation exceeding what they allow Doctor Coburn to derive from the practice of medicine. Though even the price of my time in telling them so would be worth more than these scoundrels and rogues deserve.
When the Republicans find more Senate nominees like Doctor Coburn and fewer like the crew running things now, maybe I'll contribute again. Otherwise, the current Senate has gone out of its way to convince me that letting the Senate fall into Democratic hands again would be only marginally worse than what the GOP has on offer. Maybe I'm wrong, and the wiser part of me suspects so, but if the RSCC and the Republican Senate leadership don't pull their collective heads out of their collective patooties, we'll all find out soon enough. And while the country doesn't deserve that, the GOP Senate contingent does.
