July 20, 1983, roll call vote 259, House of Representatives, Motion to Censure Congressman Gerry Studds (D-MA) -
Following future Dem House Committee Chairs voting "no" -
Conyers, Frank, Lantos, Miller, Obey, Rahall, and Waxman.
Leadership voting "no"
Hoyer
Chair of DSCC, then House member, Schumer "no"
Voted instead for a watered down reprimand.
"Miller" Can you confirm that is Congressmen Dennis Miller of California, my Congressman?
If so, I can use it against him at the next town hall meeting.
Gads, I've looked for 2 days for this, how'd you find it?
Good job anyways, it had the info I hoped it had.
Opps.
George Miller, not Dennis.
George Miller
Thanks. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Schumer a hypocrite? Shocker!
Do you have the Congressional Record for that day? I know it's not on line. Was there any recorded vote on Newt Gingrich's purported attempt to expel Studds?
PING
bump
Info ping:

Ping...ya'll will love this.
Once again, the donks fail to recognize the power of the Internet.
What I've found, but no vote record online that I can tell:
265. H.RES.265 : A resolution in the matter of Representative Gerry E. Studds.
Sponsor: Rep Stokes, Louis [OH-21] (introduced 7/14/1983) Cosponsors (None)
Committees: House Standards of Official Conduct
Latest Major Action: 7/20/1983 Passed/agreed to in House. Status: Resolution Agreed to in House (Amended) by Yea-Nay Vote: 420 - 3 (Record Vote No: 260).
In all there were four votes. The House voted to order the ethics committee to toughen the penalty recommended for Crane from reprimand to censure, 289-136. Then came a final vote on the strengthened motion for censure, 421-3, in which Crane voted against himself.
The vote to upgrade Studd's punishment was 338-87 and the final censure tally was 420-3 Both times he voted present, neither yes or no.
Mitchell and Reps. William Clay, D-Mo., and Mervyn M. Dymally, D-Calif., voted against censuring Crane and Studds. Calls to the offices of Clay and Dymally were not returned. Rep. Parren J. Mitchell, D-Md.
Could you remind people who Stubbs was?
This is great. But why does a FR poster have the brains to do this, and not the RNC. Mehlman get off your scrawny butt and do somthing.
Good work! Now, how do we get this on the networks?
I'm of the opinion that we should RAM this back down the Democrats throats...
We should THANK them for exposing the shenanigans of Foley, and ask why they waited so long to tell us....
we should also THANK THEM for reminding Americans that many gays are PREDATORS, and gays should NEVER be allowed to hold positions of public trust, like teaching children, or sitting in public office....
We should remind EVERYONE that being a child predator while DEMOCRAT is simply not a crime to many people, while being one while REPUBLICAN is....
In short, I believe we have the chance to set the "Cause" of Gay Rights back 20 years, and WIN AN ELECTION if we play this smartly.....
Lantos votes no?
"Admiral Boorda committed suicide for far less..."
Garry Studds...Massachusetts (where else?) Congressman during the 80's/90's who was censured by the US House for having stupped a 17 year old male page.After having been censured,he defiantly declared that he felt no remorse for what he did.
And BTW...he was re-elected to the House several times *after* the censure.
(as if *that's* a surprise)
