BREAKING: Committee votes to censure Gov. Sanford

According to the Associated Press:

South Carolina lawmakers voted Wednesday to formally rebuke Gov. Mark Sanford, again sparing him from impeachment over secret trips to see his Argentine mistress and his use of state planes.

The House Judiciary Committee unanimously agreed to censure the governor for bringing "ridicule, dishonor, disgrace and shame" to the state. Though scathing, the rebuke has no practical effect on Sanford’s ability to govern for the 13 months that remain in his term.

... Despite pleas from some members to let the full House consider impeachment, the Judiciary Committee voted it down 18-6.

Well...

If governor Sandford really did the things he was accused of, then the committee's vote is justified.
