I see some hypocrisy here. People aren't willing to censure Porce for stalling a vote on a nominee for two weeks, but they're willing the censure DWTL for putting a different avatar up for a few hours. I say that if Joe Republic censures DWTL, he should also censure Porce.

As far as I know Porce is only accused of breaching a Senate rule, whilst DWTL is accused of breaching a Constitutional requirement. This is an important difference - traditionally only the Senate enforces its own rules (i.e. the Courts do not), whilst it is undoubtedly the job of the Courts to enforce the Constitution.

Agreed.

Porce breached a rule of Senate Procedure - not something any penalty is laid down for.

DWTL breached a constitutional requirement - a rule which can be interpreted as implicitly involving forfeiture of office (and which I have stated as being unfair but nevertheless valid). As far as I can see, it is not the place of the Senate to involve itself in this matter.
