Censure Senator Feingold, Part VI By Mark Noonan at 04:51 AM Senator Frist called Senator Feingold's bluff yesterday, with predictable results - the Democrats blocked a vote on Feingold's censure motion. While I applaud Senator Frist for forcing the Democrats out in to the open on this nakedly partisan ploy by Senator Feingold, I still don't think it goes far enough. Senator Feingold knew quite well that his censure motion wasn't going to go anywhere - that even if brought to a vote it would be voted down, and that more than likely his fellow Democrats would block a vote in order to avoid a vote which would work badly for them either way (vote for it an alienate the middle, vote against it an alienate the Dmeocrats' leftwing base). Because Feingold knew this all along, the only thing his censure motion could be for is to secure support on the Democratic left - support Feingold would need in the early primaries should he, as expected, run for the Democratic nomination in 2008. What Feingold did was to damage the unity of the United States in face of armed enemies merely to curry personal political favor. This is a despicable act. I still urge everyone to write Senator Frist and their own Senators to urge a censure of Feingold. The chances of it happening are very small, but I'd like to get as many people sending e mails as possible - to let the Senate know how people are feeling about this. And, who knows?, maybe this will snowball into something big - something which will firmly smack down these anti-war leftists who are harming our ability to win the war.
