so this is what it takes for Dems to support Feingold?
Seventy two members of Congress filed papers late Wednesday seeking to end President George W. Bush's warrantless NSA eavesdropping program, RAW STORY has learned.

The filing came just before a report Thursday in USA Today which revealed that the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program had collected call records on tens of millions of Americans through agreements with AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth

Finally, so glad that it's "safe" for Democrats to come out.

But will they really wake the fuck up?

Now will even GOPussies wake the fuck up?

Now will American Fox watching zombies wake the fuck up?

Hmm, Feingold doesn't look so crazy now does he?

1. Don't be too surprised to see Repukes pushing for censure to avoid....
impeachment--ala Clinton.

2. Many in Congress were using wiretaps as another reason for impeachment.

As you may recall, Feingold told the press that his censure was an alternative to impeachment.


And for those who were demanding a quick vote on censure in the senate that was certain to go down at the time, they should be thankful that Dems slowed the process down for further investigations, just as FEingold wanted - this revelation is just what the censure case needed.

3. No Impeachment. We need to DEMAND RESIGNATION.
I want Bush to be forced to say "I resign" and walk away with his tail between his legs. No censure, no impeachment - resignation.

He's been on this longer than anyone, though I'm sure Russ agrees.

6. I listened to C-Span...for a short while...
this morning..as I continuously hit 'redial'. More insulting than the acts of this administration are the people who have 'no problem' with our society going down the tubes into a fascist wasteland. When reality finally slaps them in the face, they will have my empathy as they learn humility.

7. Censure is

The consequences of it just DOESN'T fit the crimes committed!
Principle and all! :patriot:
