	Bio for Russell Feingold
		Feingold has also been a leader in the fight to stop the Department of Veterans Affairs from blocking health care marketing and outreach to veterans in Wisconsin and across the country; he was successful in passing a provision to overturn this policy that was signed into law in 2004.
		Feingold opposed the war with Iraq because he understood from the start that it would direct critical resources away from the fight against the forces that attacked us September 11, 2001, and their allies.
		Feingold was reelected to the Senate in 1998 and 2004.

	Alito Questioned by Russell Feingold, transcript - Q&A session between Russell Feingold and Judge Alito, transc...
		FEINGOLD: There's already been a lot of discussion of this topic today, but I'd like to be sure I understand your opinion about whether the president, as commander in chief, can ignore or disobey an express prohibition that Congress has passed.
		FEINGOLD: OK, but you said in your memo, quote, "I do not question the attorney general's absolute immunity." You did not quote it as the position of our office or, as you were just saying, this administration has argued this in the past.
		FEINGOLD: But I would also argue that it is a particularly compelling time to make sure there isn't undue deference given the types of powers that the executive may seek to use in trying to fight this threat.

	USNews.com: Opinion: Feingold seeks troop withdrawal
		Even this June, when Feingold introduced a resolution in Senate that called on the president to clarify the mission in Iraq and lay out "a plan and timeframe for accomplishing that mission," the senator did not call for a deadline for withdrawing troops.
		Feingold also said that many within his own party are afraid of demanding a withdrawal of troops from Iraq for fear of being branded unpatriotic or anti-military.
		While Feingold is aware some will accuse him of playing into the hands of the insurgents and strengthening terrorism, he says the Iraq war has made America less and not more safe.

	Feingold Beats Bush In Patriot Act Fight
		It is the result of four years of hard work by Feingold and others who recognized that the fight to fix the Patriot Act would have to be a long-term struggle.
		Some members of Congress were swayed by Feingold's constant pressure on Patriot Act issues, and by the fact that the senator was easily reelected in 2004 after a campaign in which he highlighted his opposition to the measure and his concern for the Constitution.
		The only difference is that, now, Feingold's voice is part of a bipartisan chorus that is demanding that Constitutional rights be defended by the members of Congress who have sworn to uphold that document.

		Feingold was re-elected in 1986, and in 1990 faced no opponent for reelection to a four-year term.
		When Feingold first ran for the U.S. Senate in 1992, he won a tough three-way primary with 70 percent of the vote, and went on to defeat two-term incumbent Robert Kasten.
		Feingold's top priority in the U.S. Senate is combating terrorism, including giving strong support to local first responders, while still ensuring the civil rights and civil liberties of every American.

	Russell Feingold
		During his childhood in Janesville, Wisconsin, Feingold's political views were shaped by discussions at the family dinner table and his father's early involvement in the Progressive Movement.
		For Feingold, that means carrying forward the work of great Wisconsin leaders like Bob La Follette and Gaylord Nelson by supporting Wisconsin's families -- fighting for better wages and a stronger Social Security program, and striving for the best in public education and quality health care for every American.
		Feingold also works to protect Wisconsin's environment by protecting our clean air, the quality of our water, and our public lands.

	USATODAY.com - Feingold drops lonely effort to block Patriot Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Feingold stuck to his objections, saying protracted talks with the White House over the law's protections for civil liberties produced only a "fig leaf" to cover weaknesses that leave people vulnerable to government intrusion.
		Feingold did not say what his amendments would propose as Congress raced to renew the act's 16 provisions set to expire March 10.
		But Feingold said the new deal only makes one modest improvement over the House-Senate compromise and current law: It makes clear that there would be judicial review of "gag orders" issued with court-ordered subpoenas for information, but sets several conditions.

	ABC News: Senator Says Bush Is Acting Like 'King George'
		Feingold, who is believed to be considering a run for president in 2008, said the president has legal options to listen to American's conversations as stipulated by the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act.
		For example, Feingold said that in the event of an emergency, the president is allowed to eavesdrop for 72 hours.
		Feingold, the only senator who initially opposed the Patriot Act, which was designed to protect Americans from terrorism, said that the spying is indicative of a "pattern of abuse" including torture and secret prisons.

	JS Online:
		Yet Feingold's short time in New Hampshire also suggested that his candidacy would be as idiosyncratic as his three-term Senate career, with a record and rhetoric that often resonate with his party's liberal base, but occasionally leave it cold.
		Feingold drew mostly warm and partly curious crowds of well over a hundred people at each of his two main events, the party dinner Friday and a "listening session" at Dartmouth College on Saturday morning.
		Feingold, who with the exception of Afghanistan has generally voted against the use of U.S. force, said in an interview with reporters Saturday that Democrats shouldn't cede national security issues to Republicans, and should make clear to voters they believe force is sometimes justified.

	Feingold Urges Troop Withdrawal By End of '06
		Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) called on the White House yesterday to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq by the end of next year and criticized fellow Democrats for being too "timid" in challenging the Bush administration's war policy.
		Feingold, who is among the Democrats considering a run for president in 2008, became the first senator to propose a specific deadline for pulling all 138,000 U.S. troops out of Iraq.
		Feingold is the first senator to call for a specific deadline, but several members of the House have introduced a resolution calling on Bush to initiate a withdrawal no later than Oct. 1, 2006.

		On June 1, 2005, Feingold launched a political action committee, the Progressive Patriots Fund; launching a PAC is seen as an important step in running for President.
		However, Feingold voted against Samuel Alito in committee and voted against cloture of debate on his nomination (also known as a filibuster) on the Senate floor.
		On May 18, 2006, Feingold again made news with his stance on marriage when he walked out of a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee shortly before a vote on a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

	Will Iraq make Russell Feingold the new Howard Dean? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Feingold's appearances drew large crowds of voters yearning for a Democrat who would speak out and stand on principle, who would risk career suicide to cast a lonely, unpopular vote.
		Feingold may emerge as the only 2008 Democratic candidate who voted against the Iraq war: Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and Evan Bayh all supported the 2002 war resolution, while governors Tom Vilsack of Iowa and Mark Warner of Virginia are hawkish-sounding centrists.
		Feingold has not called for the United States to get out of Iraq "right now." But he is the only major congressional Democrat to set a specific withdrawal timetable.

		Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Feingold was the only senator to vote against the passage of the counterterrorism legislation, claiming that it gave the government too much power to investigate citizens.
		In public pronouncements, Feingold has repeatedly assailed the decision to depose Saddam Hussein, even asserting in one intemperate speech that standing by the Bush administration's strategy in Iraq is "not patriotic." Democratic supporters of the Iraq War are not immune from Feingold's scorn.

		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.

		In this speech, Senator Feingold is blunt about the implications of Bush's spy program: "This President is breaking the law." It's been a long time since America saw a Democrat in Congress speak with such eloquent honesty.
