RE :”Well there are over 600 people posting unhappy things to Reid's facebook page. This could be a lemon that becomes lemonade and the downfall of his life. Let’s hope they really can get a recall on him.”

First, you cant recall Senators. So Reid is going no-where for at least another ~ 2 years. (till 2017)

Second, you can thank Sharon Angle for the six years of dog-crap that Reid is shoving down our throats.

No, you can thank the fools that voted to nominate Angle when her record of loss (and general bizarre, narcissistic behavior) was right out there for anyone to see. Sue Lowden or Tarkanian (or a ficus plant) would’ve beaten the viscerally unpopular Reid. Reid wanted Angle nominated for that reason, she was the only Republican that could lose to him.

The Constitution prevents recall, but it does contain an expulsion clause for members of Congress

“Since 1789, the Senate has had nine expulsion proceedings out of which fifteen Senators were expelled, most of them early in the Civil War on grounds of supporting the rebellion. The House has also proceeded against twenty-nine of its Members but has expelled only five, two for corruption and three for supporting the rebellion.

More frequent have been instances when each House has punished its respective Members by a simple majority. Punishments have included censure (or the somewhat lesser “denouncement”), reprimand, loss of seniority, removal from committee or subcommittee chairmanship, and fine. In addition, when a Member of Congress is convicted of a crime, he is expected to refrain from voting unless and until his conviction is overturned or he is re-elected.”
