Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry said of the resolution: "I'm interested in it . . . The president ought to be held accountable, and I think he broke the law."

On television, on the floor of the Senate, and in interviews with reporters Monday, Feingold condemned Bush's handling of the surveillance program in the most pointed terms.

Talking to journalists in the Senate Press Gallery, Feingold said Bush's decision to eavesdrop on Americans without judicial warrants is in the "strike zone" of what the framers of the Constitution saw as "high crimes and misdemeanors" and is "clearly more serious than anything President Clinton was accused of doing."

Feingold added: "It is reminiscent of what President Nixon was not only accused of doing but was basically removed from office for doing."

Feingold said that although impeachment might not be "good for the country," a censure resolution was a "reasonable" way to say, "Look, the guy broke the law, we have to say something about that . . . and let's get back to work."

Feingold said "people are afraid to engage in what needs to be done, which is to call the president to task, because the White House spin machine is ready to intimidate everyone."

Boy, did Feingold get that right! And kudos for John Kerry! Hope he will indeed support Feingold's resolution. Wish they were running the country right now! What a team they would make!
