"good for the country," a censure resolution was a reasonable way to say...."

DAMN IT. Comments like that DO minimize the case for impeachment. I'll support Feingold on censure, but this SECOND diss of impeachment PUBLICALLY is just wrongheaded. He's sending out mixed messages on impeachment whether he realizes it or not.

Even Democrats leery of Feingold resolution
Proposal to censure Bush met with criticism, questions

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."
