You're now thinking about HUAC, which was the purview of the HOUSE; not the SENATE and McCarthy was a SENATOR!
And the Hollywood Ten, were all stinking Commies, FYI.
McCarthy became an anti-Communist crusader in 1950. He won re-election two years later and assumed chairmanship of the Senate's Government Operations Committee. Through its investigative subcommittee, McCarthy looked for Communists in government. Other senators became dissatisfied with what they considered McCarthy's crude tactics and reckless accusations. In 1954, his colleagues censured him for disregarding Senate customs. Three years later, while still in office, McCarthy died of acute hepatitis at the age of 48.
The Senate has censured nine of its members since 1789, McCarthy being the fourth. Censure means a formal statement of disapproval. It carries no official penalty.>

Nopardons, I normally don't get involved in these brouhahas, but I just gotta say I saw you sneaking up on this one several posts back; you should be ashamed of yourself, taking advantage on the unread or uneducated. Or the memory impaired.
Remind me not to play chess with you.
Or Go. (Geesh!)
