I believe the saying is “Don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets,” not “…spay and neuter your Democrats.”

What have we done??

As for the Rebublicans, I believe that they have been enjoying a new snack food from China called “Paint Chips.”

….etc… etc…. “now watch me do something other than that”.

Hey, it got his head on TV at least. Give the guy a break. It’s not like he’s the only congressman pursuing pointless and meaningless political actions purely for publicity’s sake.

How’d that all-night fillibuster end up ?
I saw it ridiculed on The Daily Show and Colbert Report but no word on how it ended.
Press coverage okay was it ?

Congress wants to get back to rubber stamping: “REID: Well, at this stage, Russ is going to have to make his case as to why we should do that rather than do our appropriation bills, finish the defense authorization bill, Homeland Security appropriation bill.”

The whole argument of “we have important legislatoin to do, and can’t afford time to impeach-censure” is non-sense: Despite “spending time on things other than impeachment” the GOP is blocking the legislation.

Why didn’t the DNC block the legislation to begin with? Oh, that’s right: The GOP war criminals, like Hitler’s Nazis, were calling those who disgreed with illegal conduct, “traitors” and the DNC feared being called names than do the right thing. That explains everything. [/snark]

Wake up, America: The dicatorship only ends if you are willing to stand up to the dictatorship and make it stop: End all cooperating with all contracts this illegal dictatorship wants enforced.

…but when pressed by Scheiffer says…

…”I like him (Bush) personally”…

…WTF?…

…”Will you support Feingold’s call for censure?”…

…shows his (Reid’s) “conservative” (al Ceeracka), Mormon, Nevada leanings…

…with traitors like these (Lievermin and Reid)…

…we’ll be forever spinning our wheels, and listening to bullsh*t and double speak…

…we need committed Progressive Democrats…

…not warmed over Repulsivescum-lite conned’self-serving traitors….

A liar to his own people, invades and occupies another small, defenseless country under the pretense, or the lie, to better describe it, that it had WMD. OOps no WMD and then it was because Saddam Hussein nwas a “bad man” so we killed him. OOPS, big insurgency, so then it was that the Rooseveltian war president was going to bring democracy to Iraq. OOPS, failed. So then it was the Iraqi’’s fault that they did not embrace Bush’s corporatocracy brand of “democracy” And now, well now our troops are killed and blown up, while one day they kill and I will use the word murder, some Shiites and their children and the next day they kill and murder some Sunni’s and their wives and their little children

All the while

Russ Feingold seeks to “censure” this crinminal activity?
That is disgusting to me. Reid is disgusting, Pelosi is disgusting and the entire cabal of Democrats are becoming more disgusting by the day. I am beginning to believe they actually want the territory Bush invaded and are playing some macabre game with this war and the other so called war “on terrorism” just to hold on to Iraq and it’s oil fields.

Not only is this stupid man running the show, but apparently, it is becoming to me, a show in which Pelosi and Reid and all the other Democrats, fully , under the table, support Bush.

Clinton’s husband–good buddies with Bush the 1. Feingold’s husband–making lots and lots of bucks off this war. Obama–supported Lieberman, who screws us all every day. Boxer–supported Lieberman when Lamont took the primary. Hillary, gave 5000 to Lamot, while Bill campaigned for Lieberman, and has amassed millions upon nmillions in her war chest from–who knows where?

I think I have had an epiphany re this party. This show is becoming a comedy and apparently all the actors on stage, ignore the will of the people and are willing to chuck aside the consitution in order to maintain their “power” that goes for Feingold, Boxer, Feinstein, Clinton and all the rest.

Well, on second thought, it might actually happen!

Censuring Is Not Enough!

Senator Feingold,

But censuring is something the Senate could do. Impeachment is done in the House.

But, like I said before, censuring is pointless.

Has anyone noticed the Democratic Leadership in both houses of Congress is a lot like the management here at Think Progress?

Ha ha! Someone noticed! :)

I dig the hell out of Feingold, but what’s the point of censure anymore? If the Dems won’t impeach, which they could do, as long as they voted as a bloc, then there is really no point.

I’ll piece it all together for my TP friends. From the Friday Washington Post:

…”Bush administration officials unveiled a bold new assertion of executive authority yesterday in the dispute over the firing of nine U.S. attorneys, saying that the Justice Department will never be allowed to pursue contempt charges initiated by Congress against White House officials once the president has invoked executive privilege.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/19/AR2007071902625.html?hpid=topnews

A subpoenaed Harriet Miers refused to show up before Congress last week citing Executive Privilege even though she no longer works for the executive. As Judiciary Committe chairwoman Linda Sanchez spells out Executive Privilege in this case is nonsense.

http://judiciary.house.gov/Media/PDFS/Sanchez070712.pdf

There you have it. Bush will NOT ALLOW the Justice Department to investigate any case where he cites Executive Privilege. And he’s citing it here even though it doesn’t come close to complying with the necessary standards. Therefore, Bush is saying, NOTHING WILL BE INVESTIGATED. Zero. Nada. None of his crimes will be looked into. And therefore IMPEACHMENT disappears into the ether. Because the only way Impeachment will happen is if a crime (that the public can easily understand) is uncovered that’s linked directly to the President or Vice President.

There’s one way around this. INHERENT CONTEMPT. Congress says FU to the President. Congress becomes the Judiciary and tries Harriet Miers and Josh Bolton in their Chamber. This is a Constitutional right of the Congress. With Bush’s pledge to never allow contempt charges to be pursued when he claims Executive Privilege its the only way an impeachable crime will be uncovered.

On July 19 John Conyers said this in a letter to Harriet Miers attorney Fred Fielding: “Please let me know in writing by 10 am on July 23 2007, whether Mr. Bolten will comply. If I do not hear from you by then, the Committee will have no choice but to consider appropriate recourse.”

http://judiciary.house.gov/Media/PDFS/Conyers070719.pdf

If John Conyers chooses INHERENT CONTEMPT as the “appropriate recourse” the republic has a chance. If not, then Bush crimes will never be investigated and Impeachment will never happen. Bush will continue committing these crimes and even bigger ones. As will the next President (its precedent now). We should know what path the country will be taking tomorrow morning. Yet few are even aware this momentus event is happening.

Meanwhile, he and Granny Pelosi block every bill with teeth that stands any real chance of holding Bush or the rest of them accountable, or of bringing our troops home.

But, that nice man, Harry Reid, just wants every one to be nice.
