Schmidt got in his own shot at Dean by quoting Edward Levi, the attorney general under President Ford, who had in 1977 cited the need for a president to have broad foreign surveillance powers. Levi, said Schmidt, "came in to clean up the mess Mr. Dean and his colleagues left after the Watergate affair." "<br><br>Seems to me that the censure resoltuion is promoting serious discussion, not demeaning it.<br><br>I support Feingold's resolution and am amazed to hear of reports from Dem consultants claiming that serious consideration and/or passage of Feingold's resolution will only motivate conservatives...as if conservatives had no intention of participating in 2008 presidential election politics, but might now get involved because Russ Feingold proposed censure of Bush.<br><br>Unbelievable.Bob in PFnoreply@blogger.com
