1. Really dumb! (The idea, not the post) nt

[magicarpet]

7. Thx,.. just reporting what ideas are out there....

[KPN]

2. So much bullshit malarkey. The Rs just want it both ways as usual.

Fuck them.

4. Sen. Kaine is the one who floated this, not a Republican

But it's a stupid idea and can't be done - and no one should want it to be done.

[KPN]

5. It is definitely a stupid idea. I am surprised that it came from him.

[StarfishSaver]

6. I was surprised, too

He's usually more thoughtful than that.

3. A censure CANNOT keep a president from holding future office

The Constitution gives Congress ONE and only one way to stop a president from holding future office and that's through disqualification pursuant to impeachment.

Kaine is in outerspace on this one.
