The Old Censur-ion Feingold Can't Get Reid On Board For His Proposal

"Sen. Feingold Proposes Censuring Bush" from AP reports that Senator Russ Feingold on Sunday's "Meet the Press", proposed censuring President Bush for his management of the war in Iraq and his "assault" on the Constitution.  However, even his own Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't interested in his proposal - since the Senate has quite a bit on its plate already - not that Reid hasn't wasted time himself in his leadership position - specifically as the Senate Judiciary Committee has pursued Bush on the states' attorneys' firings and on the Senate "pajama party" to argue the war in Iraq. 

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.
