Reply #38: David Corn is an idiot - but he does support Feingold's censure...

"One need not champion impeachment to whack the president. Consider Senator Russell Feingold. On Monday he introduced a resolution to censure Bush. "The president," Feingold said on the Senate floor, "authorized an illegal program to spy on American citizens on American soil, and then misled Congress and the public about he existence and legality of that program. It is up to this body to reaffirm that rule of law by condemning the president's actions." There is no chance that this resolution will be adopted by the Republican-controlled Senate. But Feingold has taken a stand and provided a rallying point for those (in and out of the Senate) who share his belief that Bush trampled the Constitution by okaying warrantless wiretapping. There's a realistic way to defy political realities and an unrealistic way to do so. It's no sellout or surrender to recognize the difference."

No one, right now, has introduced a bill of impeachment - Conyers has called for an investigation and Feingold for censure -- I believe that we *must* act now to separate ourselves from the Rethugs. The polls have been showing for *months* that the public wants Congress to check the power of the president.
