Polarity rationale: Reviewed enrichment (llm_import) polarity: The resolution does not directly restrain an evil or defend justice in the way a protective statute would, nor does it advance moral harm. It is a political censure and committee removal whose justness turns on disputed conduct and proportionality. That makes it a mixed prudential matter rather than a clear good or evil. The existing 'good' polarity and abuse_accountability tag appear to overstate the measure, since it does not expose abusers, compel disclosure of abuse records, or aid prosecution.
Theological note: This measure raises issues of truthful accountability for public officials and of justice toward victims of sexual exploitation, both of which Scripture takes seriously. It is a disciplinary judgment on a member's conduct, and its moral weight depends on contested facts and motives that the metadata does not establish. This is issue relevance only, not a final candidate judgment.
