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.
Somehow I think "they voted for censure but would have preferred a reprimand" isn't quite the damning indictment GOPFlack was trying for.
