Feingold's censure --will Dems still need to stick their finger in the air
Or will impeachment come first?

3. Sorry to be rude but,
with most of our leadership, thumbs directly up butts, the only wind direction they know about is 'out'.

2. Win the elections, take back the House & Senate, then
investigate. When we have the goods (unless they shred all the proof) PROSECUTE. Better yet, send them to the Hague.

One thing at a time.

4. Censure is just really not a fit prescription for our ailment.....
What has been done is criminal, and a slap on the hand really is not the answer. In fact, it's like giving probation to a serial killer. Does that really hold him accountable?

I never thought that a Call for Censure was really anything to entertain....cause the "principal" to uphold is to, at least, propose a punishment that remotely fits the crime.....and to make such a proposal at a time when it could actually happen.

Based on the math, Censure can't be done.
Based on principle, Censure is not enough, even if it could be done.
