In this case, the political cost of doing the right thing is small, since a Democrat governor would replace Menéndez with another Democrat. Therefore I must conclude that the thing preventing his expulsion is the conspiracy of the old boy network, and all those allowing him to remain are its equally guilty co-conspirators.

It should be the same thing that Mitch McConnell - of all people! - thought in 1995, when as the chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee - he called for the resignation or expulsion if necessary of Senator Bob Packwood, knowing there was a good likelihood the Democrats would take the seat (which they did, with Ron Wyden). Because it was the right thing. It's too bad Mitch has evolved backwards so much.

What would our compass say, if it were a Repub to replace Menendez? I don’t want to know

Evolution turned upside down
That would take sterner stuff than we've apparently got. Lol.
