Question About Joe Wilson :Cencure and Admonsihed?
OK, probably a dumb question but what happens to him if he is censured? Does this mean he can not be allowed on the floor? Whats the worst that will happen?

1. Nothing.
A censure is a slap on the wrist.

3. Expulsion and censure
Expulsion is the most serious form of disciplinary action that can be taken against a Member of Congress. Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution states that, "Each House may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." Censure is a less severe form of disciplinary action that does not remove a Senator from office but is a serious black mark on a Senator's standing and career. A vote for censure requires a simple majority to pass.

5. GO FUCK YOURSELF!
Edited on Fri Sep-11-09 04:35 PM by romantico
Mineral Man, GO FUCK YOURSELF! It was a typo and No, I won't fix it! SERIOUSLY! I ask a SERIOUS question and made a typo. ASSHOLES LIKE YOU are what drive people away from the forum! ASSHOLES like you discourage people like me from actually learning something that could be useful in a debate or just in a simple discussion. So, I typed a C instead of a S. MY MISTAKE. Why for the LOVE OF GOD would you even respond? GOD, assholes like you are just as bad as Republicans! Just shut the fuck up next time and let others answer the question. WOuldn;t it have been nicer to either ask nicely or PM me? SERIOUSLY! People like you do ANYTHING to feel big and important!

6. I guess you told me...
It was two badly misspelled words in your title. If you don't care, that's OK with me, but that's the kind of stuff that makes us look like fools. It's all up to you.

8. YES I DID!
Make you a deal.YOU think before you speak and I will proofread! Oh, and obviously YOU DO CARE or you would not have made a dick head out of yourself! Only one who made them self look like a fool was you.You could have just rolled your eyes instead of making an ass out of yourself. Anymore I do not come to many message boards. I have been posting here on DU since 2000 because I feel very comfortable with the posters and I think in all that time this is only the second time a poster really acted like a jerk. A typo makes us all look like fools? Really? You can say that with a straight face? How about idiots who insult others because of a typo or misspelled word? Like I said, some people really need to knock others to feel important and big.

We have a serious spell-check infraction in progress.
