Senator Feingold’s censure resolution would hold the Bush regime accountable for its domestic spying program–which violates federal law–and for misleading the country about its existence and legality.

All of us in this body took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and bear true allegiance to the same. Fulfilling that oath requires us to speak clearly and forcefully when the President violates the law. This resolution allows us to send a clear message that the President’s conduct was wrong.

And we must do that. The President’s actions demand a formal judgment from Congress.

But this resolution–not to mention the 1st Amendment–runs afoul of Senator Allard, who feels strongly that holding President Bush accountable for violating federal law would be falling into the terrorists’ trap.

What does it say of Allard when he questions the patriotism of a Senator who would asks the Congress to live up to its responsibility? Does Allard even know what an American is?

Luntz states, “Those who define the issue will determine the outcome.” And, fortunately, we can now learn exactly how the conservatives plan to define the issues by having a look at one of Luntz’s own publications, which begins, “Learning from 2004… Winning in 2006” (PDF, 8.8MB). First released–to our knowledge–on Daily Kos last February, if you haven’t seen this document already, it’s definitely worth a read.
