In my hypothetical I said you could place Franken at 2 and Moore at 9, but because the Senate isn't equipped to distinguish anything beyond 3, it has no option but to give the same consequence to someone who scores a 3 and to someone who scores a 10, not because it deems them morally equivalent but because it doesn't have any other recourse to take. Oh, no, I got that. That's part of why I had a problem with the scale in the first place. It's my thinking that if you have a scale of 0-10 and only 0-3 are available in the context of the Senate, that's inherently unfair to someone who does something that would only warrant a 2 by the overall law. In your example, Moore goes from a 90% to a 100%. Whereas Franken goes from a 20% to a 66.6666666%. ETA: Those numbers just look clunky. I'm gonna flip it around. It's like if you're taking a test. A 9 for Roy Moore is a 10%, and a 3 in the Senate is a 0%. He fails either way, and it's honestly not that much worse in the Senate. Meanwhile, a 2 for Al Franken is an 80%, and a 2 in the Senate bumps him down to 33.3333333%. He goes from pass to fail pretty dramatically under that system. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso ...
