I've heard that some say its because its against their constitutional rights to be suspended without pay. I call BS because people get suspended all the time from their jobs without pay, when there appears to be serious wrong doing.

What is really the Liberals secret agenda?

Conservative Sen. Hugh Segal, however, said he would vote against the suspension of Wallin. He said it was up to the Senate to stand for democracy and due process.
In one unexpected take on the issue, Sen. George Baker, a senior Liberal, told reporters that passing the motions would be, in effect, a court sentence because the Senate is a quasi-judicial body. He argued passing the suspensions would thus foil ongoing police investigations of the three senators. He said it would also mean Harper and his office couldn’t be called to testify in the event of a trial.
