Glad to see they're getting something done

Looks like Feingold is doing his best to continue to get nothing done in Congress. He could be working on immigration issues, trying to create jobs in order to reduce the poverty rate, working to secure the ports, writing legislation to insure the uninsured without bankrupting the country or reducing the health care for the vast majority of Americans who have insurance, balancing the budget, closing the gap between what people owe in taxes and what they pay, fighting genocide in Darfur, fighting AIDS in Africa and South-East Asia, fighting global poverty, insuring elementary school education for the worlds poor, working to stop nuclear proliferation, encouraging the spread of democracy and human rights, building essential infrastructure in the developing world, or address the woefully inadequate education our nation is providing to our poor and minority children.

Why bother, though, when he can make yet another useless statement about how much he disapproves of the President?

Sen. Feingold Proposes Censuring Bush
ABC News

Liberal Democrat Sen. Russ Feingold said Sunday he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of the Iraq war and his "assault" against the Constitution.

But Feingold's own party leader in the Senate showed little interest in the idea. An attempt in 2006 by Feingold to censure Bush over the warrantless spying program attracted only three co-sponsors.

Feingold, a prominent war critic, said he soon plans to offer two censure resolutions measures that would amount to a formal condemnation of the Republican president.
The first would seek to reprimand Bush for, as Feingold described it, getting the nation into war without adequate military preparation and for issuing misleading public statements. The resolution also would cite Vice President Dick Cheney and perhaps other administration officials.

The second measure would seek to censure Bush for what the Democrat called a continuous assault against the rule of law through such efforts as the warrantless surveillance program against suspected terrorists, Feingold said. It would also ask for a reprimand of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and maybe others.

"This is an opportunity for people to say, let's at least reflect on the record that something terrible has happened here," said Feingold, D-Wis. "This administration has weakened America in a way that is frightful."

At the White House, spokesman Trey Bohn said, "We realize that Senator Feingold does not care much for the president's policies."
