Feingold to Introduce Censure of Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales

Just now on Meet the Press, Sen. Russ Feingold has said he plans on introduce measures to censure President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Attorney General Gonzales for their...

...misconduct relating to the war in Iraq and for their repeated assaults on the rule of law.

Feingold said...

"I'm shocked by the president...I think we need to do something serious in terms of accountability, and that's why I will be shortly introducing censure resolutions of the President and the administration.

Feingold cited a quote that was previously on the show by National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell and says...

This administration has assaulted the constitution. We need to have on the historical record some kind of indication that what has happened here has been....disastrous.

Feingold added that he believes the President might have committed impeachable offenses and cited a poll that showed nearly 50% of Americans believe impeachment proceedings should be brought forth. Feingold said a censure is a way to hold the administration accountable without bogging the Senate down in impeachment hearings.
