Could The House Democrats Introduce A Motion To Censure Liz Cheney For Her Support Of Impeachment?

Since the repubs don't want to actually go on record, and get away with holding a secret vote, could the Democrats force them to go on the record?

The Democrats, of course, would vote to Not censure her, but the repubs would have to choose obviously which way they wanted to publicly vote.

On record for one doesn't mean anything in regards to the other.

Off-hand, I can't think of anything that would be more pointless.

They were talking on the news about how the repubs were able to save face since it was a secret vote, and that if it had been public, there likely would have been many more voting to demote her, so they could suck up to the MAGA crowd.
