2. It's the least they should do.
He should have been impeached and removed years ago.

3. Of course! If they protect that lying traitor they shouldn't be Dems
they should be Neo Cons.

16. In the words of the Southern Ladies down here in Georgia...
"Well Bless his Heart!" :D

I'm sure the Southern women here will know what that actually means, but for the non-Southerner's, I think it translates as a very sarcastic "good luck, Don Quixote."

4. Republicans too!
It's about the law, not about politics.

6. I think they should use it to demand investigation
We haven't even had an investigation into these programs yet, we don't even know what all Bush has done. We should use this censure resolution to demand all of Bush's secret programs be fully investigated and whether it really is constitutional that the President can do whatever he wants, which is the claim of the "inherent authority" bunch.

7. Yes -- and they should call on any Rethug who votes NO
to push for a fuller investigation to "prove" that the program is legal and to "clear *'s name."

8. No doubt in my mind at ALL...YES! So should MOST Republicans
if they are truly representing their constituents.

12. Absolutely, they should. It would be one good way they could
show that at least once in a blue moon, they 1) listen to their constituents, and 2) sometimes can indeed grow a spine.

14. I think anyone who agrees that a President breaking the law
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 07:15 PM by Solly Mack
is bad for the country WILL vote "Yea" on censure.

Those proposing to change the law to make the crimes of the President legal are no different than those in the Bush Regime who redefine torture to justify torture - as if that somehow makes it any less torture. Changing the law won't change the fact that Bush broke the law - it will just allow him to get away with breaking the law.

Frankly, if you can support Bush getting away with breaking this (spying)law, then you can't really claim you care about any of his crimes. A President breaking the law is a President betraying the country. It really is that simple.

And yeah, doing the right thing for the country comes with a very high cost sometimes...and if you're not willing to pay that price, then you're not really about serving the people - you're about serving yourself.

19. Absolutely
As it stands, the Democrats are the weakest opposition party I think I've ever seen or read about.

20. other - if they are presented with evidence and believe he broke the law
then by all means vote for censure. I wouldn't want them to do it just out of partisan politics though. Remember - Feingold voted to investigate Clinton during the impeachement debacle. He was the only democrat to do so. Keep the 'ol integrity intact and others will find it hard to argue against you. Feingold has a ton of integrity, imo. Am I making sense?
