Which he acknowledged was a "terrible error in judgment." The former page has subsequently appeared with him at public events and supported him totally. Studds just died suddenly. He was a terrific congressman, got all kinds of things accomplished. He was an activist for environmental and maritime issues, gay marriage, AIDS funding, and civil rights, particularly gay rights.

Actually he faced the Speaker of the House while the Speaker was reading the charges. If you face the Speaker, obviously your back is to your colleagues. No insult or contempt was intended to anyone. That's yet another smear attempt by the right. And it wasn't his colleagues in the House who gave him the standing ovation, it was his constituents back home at his first town meeting after the censure.
