    She’s a methhead and child groomer who exchanges sexual acts for house votes; not sure why this is taking so long to do anything but I guess these are the family values Americans crave.

    It seems censuring doesn’t actually do anything

    A vote to censure another member of Congress does not hold any other power beyond a public condemning of that member’s behavior. It does not expel a member from Congress or deny the rights or privileges of that member within Congress.

    The Senate website says a censure can have a “powerful psychological effect” on the member and can subsequently threaten the relationships they have with their colleagues. The House website notes that a censure makes the House’s “deep disapproval” of a member publicly known but does not warrant an expulsion.

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s going to have much “psychological effect” on her. Should just vote to expel her.
