As chairman of the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee, Georgia U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson could have a full plate, with potential investigations into the behavior of Minnesota U.S. Sen. Al Franken and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez. A Roy Moore victory in Alabama’s special Senate election, which could spark an effort in the chamber to expel him, would just make Isakson busier.
