I commended Russ Feingold for bringing up Censure for George Bush last year, although it ultimately failed. It's a simple statement that shows the President is off course. Now Russ is bringing it up again, but why? We are far beyond censure as we were even back then. Senate leaders do not see much in it now as they did last year, but they won't look at impeachment either. Impeachment is what we need, not censure and certainly not inaction.
From The Huffington Post:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Feingold's proposals showed the nation's frustration. But Reid said he would not go along with them and said the Senate needs to focus on finishing spending bills on defense and homeland security.
"We have a lot of work to do," Reid said. "The president already has the mark of the American people _ he's the worst president we ever had. I don't think we need a censure resolution in the Senate to prove that."
As for the Senate's top Republican, "I think it's safe to say Russ Feingold is not a fan of George Bush. I think that's the best way to sum that up," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
That pretty much sums it up. The nation knows what time it is. Republicans are watching clock tick down until Bush is gone, trying as hard as they can to keep this war and the assault on the Constitution going as much as possible. The only way to stop it is to get rid of Dick and Bush with a trial in the Senate, but Democratic leaders would rather pass bills that are ultimately slapped down and ignored by a tyrannical despot that occupies the White House. At least we know where our priorities are.
