Feingold to Call for Rare Presidential Censure


WASHINGTON -- A top Democratic senator said Sunday he plans to introduce Monday a resolution calling for President Bush to be censured for his domestic wiretapping program.



Sen. Russ Feingold
Sen. Russ Feingold, a potential presidential candidate, told ABC's "This Week" Sunday that the resolution would not preempt discussions about changing a 1978 law governing a special court set up to approve wiretaps.

"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.

"There can be debate about whether the law should be changed. There can be debate about how best to fight terrorism. We all believe that there should be wiretapping in appropriate cases -- but the idea that the president can just make up a law, in violation of his oath of office, has to be answered."

4. At DU please do not refer to Chimpy as PRESIDENT Bush

He is a mega-asshole that has stained the office and is an international embarrassment. Bush, AWOL-boy, Punk, are more decriptive and accurate rather than giving the 'president' title to an election stealing mental-midget. Thanks.

slack.

8. contagious?

Let's hope the vibe makes it over to the House of Representative where someone suddenly gets the idea to introduce articles of impeachment over illegal wiretapping! Wake up and read the constitution guys!!
