2. They're basically just voting to yell at him. I know some people are saying it's a big deal...

...I just don't see why he or any Republican would take it seriously or care.

I dunno. I guess it's good that they're doing it, I just don't see it as having any real effect.

8. Yep

He's been rebuked by the House - very good. I wish they had censured him.
They'll think about it before calling the President a LIAR the next time.

7. In all honesty, I think that this is all he deserves...

Did he do anything illegal? No. Did he make an ass out himself and breach decorum? Yes. This is what slaps on the wrist are for. The calls for impeachment and such are a bit out of line. Do I hope he gets his ass handed to him in the next election? Abso-fucking-lutely! But until then I think that the appropriate action has been taken.
