The midterms can't get here soon enough!

Based on some of the names who voted Yes (in this case a Yes, essentially killed the resolution by sending it back to the Ethics Committee) there's more to this than the OP implies.
Just a few names I was surprised to see in the Yeas column:
Ilhan Omar
Jamie Raskin
Kelly Morrison
AOC
Betty McCollum
Jasmine Crockett

And Jasmine Crockett???
I never would have guessed!
Im guessing they have reasons, and I hope those reasons make sense. For the life of me, I cant figure this one out.

Many/most of the worst of the worst Republicns voted NO, which makes it clear that a NO vote was not a good thing.
The House on Wednesday batted down an effort from Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) to publicly release all reports on file with the House Ethics Committee on investigations into members of Congress regarding allegations of sexual harassment of staff or of a sexual relationship with a member of their staff.
In a 357-65-1 vote, the chamber moved to refer the matter to the House Ethics Committee a move that essentially kills the effort. Thirty-eight Republicans and 27 Democrats voted against referring the resolution to the panel. Members who voted with Mace included members who have faced scrutiny over their own conduct, such as Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.).
