At the Censure Hearings

Feingold, John Dean: Bush Scarier than Nixon | The Progressive: "Republicans made a bad mistake if they thought by holding a hearing on censure they could embarrass critics of the President.

For when the Senate Judiciary Committee met on March 31 to explore Senator Feingold’s censure bill, the Wisconsin Senator scored point after point."
...

Feingold did not limit himself to Bush’s NSA scandal. He put it in the context of Bush’s assertions of executive power with regard to torture and preemptive war.

“What we have here,” Feingold said, “is one of the greatest attempts to dismantle our system of government that we have seen in the history of our country.”
