Feingold Wants Bush Censured for Spying

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Associated Press Writer 16 minutes ago

A liberal Democratic senator who is considering a White House bid in 2008 said Sunday he is seeking to censure President Bush over his domestic eavesdropping program. The Senate majority leader called it "a crazy political move."

A censure resolution, which simply would scold the president, has been used just once in U.S. history — against Andrew Jackson in 1834.

Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record), a longtime critic of the Bush administration, said he hoped a censure would cause Bush to apologize for the warrantless surveillance that he put in place on his own after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

"What the president did, by consciously and intentionally violating the Constitution and the laws of this country with this illegal wiretapping, has to be answered," Feingold said on ABC's "This Week."

A sure sign that they know they have finally lost on this issue. Censure is short for "I give up".

This is so over the top it smacks of treason.

Sadly this makes Feingold a "moderate" Democrat, a "true progressive" would insist on impeachment....
