Reply #20: I agree, for once...

I've been as critical of the congressional Democrats as anyone, but I can see the point here.

This is not unlike the way the Republicans handled the Murtha matter (in the latter case, of course, they also changed the motion to something other than what Murtha proposed, for good measure). In other words, call for a snap decision, unanimously vote against it, and move on to other matters. The end result would be that the whole event of calling for censure would be over and down the memory hole within a few hours.

Better to give it some time.

Although, I'd just as soon avoid a censure motion entirely, since, should it actually pass, it would have no tangible effect, and allow the Republicans to declare "fine...case closed" on virtually every complaint made up to that point against King George. Let's face it: what we really need is not censure, but impeachment -- and that can't happen until after the November elections.
