Unlike the author, I feel that Mr. Duffy is entitled to any pay that was withheld while he was under suspension and possibly reimbursement of his legal fees but nothing else.  He did, after all win his legal case.   The real culprit here is, of course, not Mr. Duffy but rather the Senate as a whole, an organization that purposely established rules that were designed to allow Senators to put their snouts deep into the public trough with virtually no controls.   The sad thing is that the actions of Mr. Duffy were little different than the actions of hundreds of other Senators over the decades.   I think that the real answer here is to scrap the Senate and either rent out the Senate Chamber for meetings or convert it into a museum dedicated to the memory of public greed.
