Could Cruz be censured by the Senate?

[gopiscrap]

[onenote]

1. Could? Sure and the Senate could give him a medal.

Neither will happen.

[malaise]

2. They'd better fugging censure that racist

seditious ReTHUG scumbag.

[gopiscrap]

5. My sentiment exactly!

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Yes, it is possible

won't happen though.

[PoliticAverse]

4. Will he be? No. n/t

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. For breaking what Senate rules?

I am pretty sure being an ignorant fuck, in love with himself, and grandstanding for the Republican nomination are not violations of the Senate Rules.

[gopiscrap]

7. what about the secret meeting with the House Republicans?

[Mass]

9. How is this against the rules?

And it was not that secret, given where the meeting took place.

[gopiscrap]

11. My understanding was that it was against Senate rules to do that

but I am an immigrant so I don't fully understand the Senate rules.

[Mass]

13. No, it is not. People have meetings all the time.

The only people who will be offended are the GOP House leadership.

[gopiscrap]

16. ok sorry

[okaawhatever]

25. Welcome to America (no matter how long you've been here). Can you imagine an immigrant coming to

America and listening to Fox news and the tea party and then failing their citizenship test? What do you mean the current President isn't a member of the Socialist Party? He wasn't born in Kenya? It doesn't take 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate? LOL

[Mass]

8. For what offense? Being stupid is not something you can censure

otherwise, we can be sure a lot of congresspeople and senators on both sides would be censured.

[oldhippie]

10. Sure, so could Harry Reid .....

... and every other member of the Senate. What's your point? Why ask the question?

[gopiscrap]

14. wondering if it was a possibility so as to deter

some other ass clown from doing the same thing!

[Graybeard]

12. Why just a censure?

As far as I'm concerned he should be thrown the f*ck out!

Expelled, impeached, defrocked or whatever the hell the
Senate equivalent is.
.

[gopiscrap]

15. I think it is called expulsion

does anyone know has a Senator been expelled from the US Senate before?

[Ranchemp.]

19. Yeah, but most were Democrats

and the last ones actually expelled were in 1862.

[Ranchemp.]

17. Thrown out for what?

Other than being an insufferable prick, he didn't break any Senate rules.

[gopiscrap]

20. I didn't advocate expulsion

just censure

[Ranchemp.]

22. My reply was to Graybeard.

I think censure would be appropriate, though I doubt very seriously that it'll happen. Unfortunately, under the rules of the Senate, he didn't break any rules.

[gopiscrap]

23. Ok sorry

[Pretzel_Warrior]

18. Not gonna happen. He has been hobbled by this epic fail

And any censure or other formal response only gives him martyr status. Let him twist in the wind.

[11 Bravo]

21. Could he? Yes. Will he? No.

[B Calm]

24. I think for all he's done for the democratic party

we ought to give him a medal!
