Feingold

Chris Bowers has compiled a list of links for several good rants about Feingold's motion to censure Bush that you can find here.

As for my part, I have to agree with all of them. Feingold obviously realizes that there is no way his motion will pass, but he is rightly bringing it up to raise the issue that Bush broke the law back into the public eye, whereas Republicans would like it swept under the rug. Furthermore, it makes zero sense that there is even a single Democrat who does not support this. It's not a motion to impeach, just censure. If you check out the list of Democratic senators who voted to impeach Clinton, who was popular, and then see how many of them are shying away from Bush, who is at 34%, you can't help but wonder what's wrong with them. Feingold isn't grandstanding, he's standing up for what he believes in, and has consistently done so from the get-go, with his opposition to the Patriot Act and the first voice to call for withdrawal from Iraq. It's both good politics and upright morality to call for censure. Otherwise you're a weak, spineless political hack, just like Republicans would like people to think.
