:grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr::grr:

Sen. Russ Feingold, a liberal Democrat from Wisconsin and possible candidate for his party's presidential nomination, is asking fellow senators to censure President Bush for misleading Americans about his secret eavesdropping program.

A resolution to censure is a bad idea.

First, it is divisive and futile; the Republican Congress would never pass it. Even if it passed, the resolution wouldn't mean anything; it has no force.

And if Congress is really looking for someone to censure, the lawmakers need not look as far afield as the White House. Agree with Bush or not, he has consistently argued, and to all appearances genuinely believes, that his wartime powers under the Constitution and granted him by Congress' post-9/11 authorization for the use of force allow him to abrogate certain laws.

1. Grrrr is right - " * genuienly believes" - WTF
how incredibly stupid to support what Bush "genuinely" believes, vs the laws of this land.

Agree with Bush or not, he has consistently argued, and to all appearances genuinely believes, that his wartime powers under the Constitution and granted him by Congress' post-9/11 authorization for the use of force allow him to abrogate certain laws.
