Bad Night for Al Franken

Doug Jones has won the Alabama Senatorial race and Roy Moore will ride off into the sunset to trouble the Republican Party no more.  Al Franken had intentionally offered that vague non-resignation with the expectation that he could revoke it when Moore won the race.  Or maybe he would make his resignation contingent on Moore's not being seated in the Senate.  Whatever the case, Franken's last, best hope for remaining in the Senate just went down the drain.  What will the Senate Ethics Committee do now?
