The dems were holding out for more information into how the investigation into the "affair" was handled before they would agree to expulsion? They thought that the repubs were trying to quickly oust Courser and Gamrat so as to sweep details under the rug? So it was a tight vote (no expulsion) a couple days ago despite the findings of the investigation?

But, late this evening/early this morning suddenly the majority vote was to expel. What new information did they receive in the short time between the votes?
