American James Jurist Wilson

Joe Wilson, Representative from South Carolina, was chided by Democrats for yelling “you lie” at President Barak Obama while the President spoke about healthcare on September 9th, 2009. Los Angeles Times writer, Richard Simon, noted that the House Democrats censured Wilson because his outburst was a breach of decorum and that “it made the institution look bad.” Wilson had privately apologized to President Obama, but that was not enough for the Democrats.

To some, this outburst may seem like a big deal, but in light of America’s Congressional history, this was very tame. Looking at two examples in American History, Representative Joe Wilson was hit pretty hard with his censure in respect to these two men.

Henry Stuart Foote

Henry Foote was a Senator from Mississippi who was involved in the Compromise of 1850. The Compromise was over the issue of slavery expanding to the newly formed territories in the West. Foote was for the institution of slavery spreading West, while Thomas Benton, Senator from Missouri, vehemently opposed the expansion of slavery for the sake preserving the Union. Benton had made remarks about Foote, and Foote followed suit.
