Feingold worked with many of the Democrats who wanted to change the policy - Levin, Biden, Reed, Dodd, Kerry, Durbin, Kennedy, Feinstein, Obama, Boxer, Harkin and Rockefeller. This was after both he and Kerry independently had introduced their own legislation - that they knew would not be supported. They worked with Levin and the others to get the Levin amendment of 2005 (not the same as 2006) that was not binding Sense of the Seante resolution. It asked Bush to create a timeline and set bench marks. It was weak, but they thought it had a chance to pass. It didn't.
Senator Warner introduced a watered down version of the Levin amendment that did pass.
This is pretty weak stuff to claim as "supporting a deadline".
