Who HAS and HASN'T supported censure, and provide sources!
Lots of thoughts, nothing much to back anything up.

1. When you call your reps...Please get them on the record.
If their office says they have no position, tell them you'll call back until they HAVE a position, then do it and let us know here at DU!

3. This wasn't an unreasonable request imo. I've read so many
'Dems be damned' threads, but nothing to back them up. So, who isn't supporting, who is, and why?
Simple, no?

8. NO SOURCES, and all this angst against Dems, on DU? Surely
you jest! Come on, we can do better than wearing our ignorance on our collective sleeves.
Stop the bashing until you have something/someone to bash, how 'bout?
Just a thought...

10. If anyone posts anything, it's on DU within moments. Why the
lack of info? Folks are jumping the gun imo.

11. I heard that Feingold hasn't sent the other senators a resolution yet.
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 11:14 PM by blm
It would be a good idea to have the resolution text in front of you if you're going to support it and media asks you about it.

18. Because it's the way things are done. Kerry and Kennedy talked to senators
Edited on Tue Mar-14-06 11:18 AM by blm
and urged they lead or help lead a filibuster of Alito. If they didn't inquire beforehand, they would have gotten even more of a hatchet job from their own side.

Why do YOU think it's appropriate for any senator to SAY he has a resolution he came up with and NOT hand out prepared copies to other senators in the effort to include them and their support?

Isn't that one of the things that pisses us off about Bush? They demand support for their bills in congress, but hold off on the details till the vote.

15. I won't be contacting anyone on this right now, I think Feingold
chose the wrong time to go after Bush on this. It could have waited until after the 2006 elections when we held a little more power and had the backing of more of the American people. It would make a bolder statement coming with new Dem support in the Senate and the House.
