    Members of Congress who have been censured are required to give up any committee chairs they hold. Like a reprimand, a censure does not remove a member from their office so they retain their title, stature, and power to vote. There are also no legal consequences that come with a reprimand or censure.

    Straight from the horse's mouth

      The article doesn't mention it; did she even chair any committees? Everyone in leadership already hated her so I kind of doubt it.

        It’s more like a warning to other progressives out there: if you don’t toe the party line, we will do things to you.

        The goal is to make the other good intentioned people shut up and self-censor in the face of evil.

        This is also why liberalism will inevitably end up in fascism, btw.
