Reply #20: True. Joe McCarthy was censured for his actions

[TayTay]

in the '50's and his over zealous investigations into whether or not their were communists in the US government. He kept his seat.

I don't see this going anywhere. I really and truly don't. I still like the idea of censuring the President for his illegal wiretapping. I think it might have served notice that Congress isn't going to put up with that sort of thing anymore. (And Gawd, it just came out that this crimnal Admin thinks that physical searches of suspects are okay, under the same logic. Phsyical searches. This must not stand.)

However, the gesture is just that now, a gesture. It will never make it out of committee. And I think it will fade when the 'next big thing' comes along. (Which should be in about a week and a half.) I am basically being somewhat neutral and honest about it in GD. I like it, but it doesn't mean much and will not go anywhere.
