Is there not a single Democrat in the Senate with the courage to stand up beside Sen. Russ Feingold?

Feingold introduced a resolution yesterday to censure President Bush for authorizing a no-warrant domestic surveillance program, and accused G.W. of breaking the law and misleading Congress about it.

"When the president of the United States breaks the law, he must be held accountable," said Feingold, but it doesn't seem that his fellow bench-warmers have the backbone to support the measure. Naturally, the GOP is going to paint this as pure political grandstanding, but it's sad to see some name Democrats speaking out against this.

If not now, when is the Democratic Party going to stand up for the rest of us? The Republicans dragged the Clinton family and his administration through the mud for minor (and generally unfounded) matters, yet the Dems will let His Smugness trash the Constitution at will.
