The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a hearing for next Friday on the call by Senator Russell D. Feingold, Democrat of Wisconsin, to censure President Bush for his approval of a program to allow electronic eavesdropping without warrants.

Mr. Specter said his intent was not to use the session as a political forum but to explore issues surrounding the proposed censure. He said he believed the proposal was baseless.

"I am prepared to deal with it," Mr. Specter said. "I am sure not going to sit back and have Feingold spout off."

Let's hope Feingold is reading Glenn Greenwald:

The reality is that the Administration has been making clear for quite some time that they have unlimited power and that nothing -- not even the law -- can restrict it. But here, they are specifically telling Congress that even if Congress amends FISA and the President agrees to abide by those amendments, they still have the power to break the law whenever they want. As I have documented more times than I can count, we have a President who has seized unlimited power, including the power to break the law, and the Administration -- somewhat commendably -- is quite candid and straightforward about that fact.

The latest example of Bush lawless is from the Globe. Congress can write all the laws they want, but Bush is going to intepret them, and decided whether or not to obey them. That's tyranny. (Kudos to Greenwald for citing Federalist 47).

Our question to every elected Representative should be:

What is your plan to restore Constitutional Government?

If they don't have a plan, they're not your representative.

And if they don't get they question, even less are they your representative.

UPDATE Via VastLeft, Feingold on censure:

At his press conference today, the President once again failed to tell the American people why he decided to break the law by authorizing a program to spy on Americans on American soil without court orders. Instead of offering any defense of the program’s legality, the President shamelessly played partisan politics by implying that Democrats don’t want to wiretap terrorists. That is flat-out wrong, and the President knows it. Of course we should wiretap suspected terrorists, and under current law, we can. The question is why the President believes he needs to break the law to do so.
