Isn't a censure already a reprimand without any repercussions? Other than showing up in the Congressional Record, I don't see any difference. Should they just be given a "timeout" and a clean slate? I think not.
Yes. He would have had to give up his committee chair apparently, but that's irrelevant cause he already gave it up and the rats lost the majority.
The only "punishment" is that he had to listen to resolution condemning him. "You've been a very naughty boy Charlie".
So I'm mystified why they apparently wanted nothing different than a slightly less harsh rebuke. Just so poor Chuck can avoid the stigma of the word "censured" I guess.
