If the Republicans in the Senate believe Dodd violated Senate ethics, they can initiate a Ethics Committee investigation. That is the proper procedure....they dont need Democratic approval.
There are six members of the Senate Ethics Commitee...three from each party..and a tie wins in this committee (only this committee)....
...but perhaps they believe the WSJ claims are unsubstantiated.
