Hey, maybe I'm dumb, but you are saying, aren't you, that the future D leaders voted FOR censure for Studds? That is, GOPFlack's claim is false?

They voted against increasing the punishment from a reprimand to a censure (a reprimand does not even require the "bad guy" to be present for the reprimand, while a censure requires them to be in 'the well' and rebuked and humiliated)

When it came down to it, the 3 in my post voted against the censure altogether.

So the original post is voting against censure as a more severe punishment, mine was voting against the censure they agreed to pursue as a punishment.

I think that's right.

No, he said Schumer and others voted against Censure. The rest of the House voted to censure Stubbs and it passed. but Schumer and some other DEM sleaze voted against it.

vote 259 - Gingrich motion for censure as opposed to committee resolution for reprimand. Passed, with 87 nays which included those listed above.
