House Votes Resolution of Disapproval Rep. Joe Wilson

7 Republicans crossed lines to vote for it, 12 Dems crossed party lines to vote against it, and 5 Dems abstained.

I am of two minds about the vote.

What he did was clearly a violation of the rules of courtesy for the House of Representatives, and I understand why they felt the need to make sure that there were consequences.

That being said, I think that Congressional courtesy is overrated, and going with British style heckling, and a couple of good fist fights on the floor, might shake up that staid institution.
