	TomPaine.com - Ganging Up On Feingold
		Now Feingold, with little support from his quaking Democratic colleagues, wants to censure the President…for authorizing wiretapping on American citizens that even many prominent Republicans believe is illegal—and unnecessary.
		Democratic senators were reportedly upset that Feingold didn’t notify them of his plan to introduce the censure resolution—and doubly wounded that he criticized them for “cowering with this president's numbers so low.
		Indeed, with stonewalling by the GOP majority a given on almost any topic of import, a vote on a censure resolution that has garnered substantial public support may be the only way to force our representatives to do their jobs as watchdogs of the public interest.

	WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL \| TPMCafe
		Senator Feingold's comments were much needed, but I really felt he ended up letting the AG off the hook in the end.
		Every time Feingold asked if the President could conduct warrentless wiretaps, the AG would say that the question that he was asking was whether the President was breaking the law.
		What Feingold should have done is go back to the transcripts from that hearing and reread the question to Gonzales, key on the word "warrentless." The question (I believe) was not whether the searches were legal or not, but whether they were warrentless or not.

	Ezra Klein: Everybody Screwed Up. Including Russ Feingold.
		In his (and your) zeal to GET BUSH, Feingold introduced a resolution of censure when there was doubt among even his own party and among the voters in general as to guilt.
		If Feingold had gone to the Dem Sen. caucas, they would have talked about it, consulted their consultants, referred it to a committee, and finally decide it was a bad idea because they would be attacked for backing it.
		I generally like Feingold, but the way he went about this shows that it's clearly a stunt, and that he essentially designed it to be unsuccessful, and to help only him and his presidential ambitions.

		Feingold has made a career out of being a sort of Regular Joe Boy Scout in the sinister world of American politics, earnestly leading us across the moral street, and upholding personal virtue.
		Senator Feingold is often 'troubled' about reticences on Roberts' part, and about Roberts' public record of conservatism; and the extent of what he'll hazard about him is that he 'seems' like he would do good when Chief Justice.
		More of Feingold's speech is in fact devoted to criticizing what he finds 'troubling' in Roberts's answers than to praising his humility and modesty, a fact which makes his acceptance of him all the more troubling.
