Pointless grandstanding

Demonstrating the fundamental unseriousness of his politics yet again, Russ Feingold called for the censure of the President.

Oops. Seems nobody else among the Democrats wants to support him.

This is so obviously a ploy to endear himself to the far left that it calls into question his judgment.

Item: Congressional leaders (the gang of eight) were briefed on the NSA program. None raised objections. None have gone on record against the program since the NYT started blathering about it.

Item: What little case law there is on programs such as these seems to support the legality of the program.

Item: The "investigation" by Congress is not even remotely close to being complete.

Item: Several parties have brought legal action claiming they were targets but none have gone to trial yet.

Item: Not one single person has proven that any American was targeted or damaged by the program (perhaps the courts cited above MAY find something, but that has yet to be proven).

Russ Feingold wants to be President. By attempting to protect the rights of terrorists, I think he just shot himself in the foot. One can but hope.
