Washington observers split on whether the Senate should recall lawmakers before the election to rule on censure charges against Senator McCarthy. Democrats favor a session to weaken Republican unity, while most Republicans fear a pre election trial could cost them control. Critics say the special committee rushed hearings and limited defense, risking a biased outcome and a renewed pre election climate.
