I know that in 2006, Senators have little respect for the Constitution they are sworn to preserve and protect. However, someone really ought to buy them a clue about this censure nonsense. The Constitution of the United States contains no provision -- zero, none, nada -- for the Senate or House to censure a president. They can only censure their own members, and any attempt to censure a president violates the separation of powers. Their only recourse to deal with a president they believe has committed malfeasance is to impeach him. Only the U.S. House can start impeachment proceedings. Whether or not Feingold is smart and Constitutionally educated enough to realize it, his censure move is an end-around the Constitutional process and separation of powers.

Senate panel poised to debate Bush censure

The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a hearing for Friday on the call by Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., to censure President Bush for his approval of a program to allow electronic eavesdropping without warrants. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who is chairman of the panel, said he had decided to schedule the session after Feingold pressed for hearings on the censure proposal in a television interview.

Some Republicans have seized on the issue to rally their supporters by arguing that the censure plan is evidence that Democrats would try to take some action against Bush should they gain control of the House or Senate in the November elections.

It has also energized some Democrats who contend their party has shied from confronting Bush.

Pick Your Team



Here's a thought-provoking brain teaser. Caution: this one creates great mental and visual images.

You have been assigned a very dangerous mission to root out a nest of terrorists. The mission is so critical that the survival of the free world is at stake and dependent on your successful completion. You must select your team members from the following available personnel:

a.) President Bush

b.) Teddy Kennedy

c.) Condi Rice

d.) Nancy Pelosi

e.) Vice President Cheney

f.) Harry Reid

g.) Donald Rumsfeld

h.) Russ Feingold

Here is the kicker. Due to severe shortages of manpower (people-power, for the politically correct), you can only choose four out of the eight for the mission and for covering your back. The remaining four not chosen are desperately needed to deal in daily garbage distribution. Remember, excellence, tenacity, courage, and a steadfast, rock-solid team is of the utmost importance in order to be successful. Pick your team!
