Feingold introduces censure measure
Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold today is introducing a measure to censure King George for violating the constitutional rights of thousands of people by conducting an illegal wiretapping program. See THIS LINK.
This should be a litmus test of who we support politically or financially. If any candidate won't support AT LEAST censure of Bush, they don't deserve to be in office. Of course if they favor impeachment, all the better...
All the Republican rhetoric defending Bush is nonsense. Saying that he acted forcefully to defend our country might have been valid if he had only ordered the wiretap program for a month or two after 9/11/01, and then sought new laws. But when he has made it a permanent, secret program, violating the constitution and committing repeated felonies under FISA, THAT merits at least censure.
