As all have probably heard by now, Russ Feingold said he is introducing resolutions to censure Bush and Cheney. That is a great move, even though it isn’t impeachment. Still, let’s see how the AP reports this:
Liberal Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of the Iraq war and his “assault” against the Constitution.
But Feingold’s own party leader in the Senate showed little interest in the idea. An attempt in 2006 by Feingold to censure Bush over the warrantless spying program attracted only three co-sponsors.
Feingold, a prominent war critic, said he soon plans to offer two censure resolutions — measures that would amount to a formal condemnation of the Republican president.
Now I am not trying to say Liberal is a bad word, but I find it interesting how the AP decided to throw it in there. Of course there are Democrats who are against it, but they will be dealt with the next time they run for office. We need action out of the Senate now. What has been happening isn’t cutting it.
