Censure Bush

Posted at March 13, 2006 10:52 AM in Democrats .

Sen Russ Feingold (D-WI) has called for a censure of President Bush for the wiretapping scandal. While he says that this should not preempt the change to the 1978 FISA law, he claims that it will send a message:

"It's an unusual step," he said. "It's a big step, but what the president did by consciously and intentionally violating the Constitution and laws of this country with this illegal wiretapping has to be answered."

Feingold apparently did not discuss this with other Senators, so he has no idea how much support he'll have for the resolution. Additionally, there are no Republicans that are expected to support this resolution.

Russ, it was a fine effort, you might want to try to get some support before you introduce a resolution such as this [pdf 159k].
