- US Senate censure of MoveOn.org: An attack on free speech in the service of militarism
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The US Senate’s 75-to-25 vote in favor of a resolution condemning the liberal antiwar group MoveOn.org for publishing a newspaper ad questioning the credibility of Iraq war commander Gen. David Petraeus represents a chilling attack on freedom of speech and a further undermining of the bedrock constitutional principle that subordinates the military to democratic civilian control.

- Democrats' "censure" plan--another cynical diversion of fight against war and reaction
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The obvious question is: Given ample constitutional grounds together with this mass popular support for bringing impeachment proceedings against the president and vice-president, why is Feingold, supposedly among the most liberal Democrats in the US Senate, pushing for only a motion of censure, a measure that would have no legal implications and would do nothing to stop the administration from continuing its criminal actions?

  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.

I agree . I think censure will just take away the impeachment option in the mind of the public. Lame Feingold.
