Russ Feingold on the New FISA Legislation

2008-10-18T09:29:29Z

Just about the most genuine guy in the Senate. Listen to what Russ has to say about his emails and phone calls and the fact that you have actually lost your right to privacy.

Just trust them. The Bushes. And Cheneys. With your personal info. You know, because they have been so trustworthy on Iraq (935 lies, oh my!), Gulf Of Tonkin/Strait of Hormuz, attorney firings, secret energy meetings, Gonzo, Katrina, abstinence education, Bolton at the UN, Alito, and the art of pretzel ingestion.

In other words, you might want to listen to what Senator Feingold has to say...

Note To Democrats: Courage Leads To Victory

2008-10-21T09:30:28Z

Yesterday turned out to be an amazing day. So many times we've watched as our so called leaders have done anything but lead. We've been left in shock wondering how they can still be cowed by a a pathetic excuse for a man who has a 24% approval rating and has been discredited over and over again.

We've been horrified as they've endorsed torture by supporting Mukasey, refused to put the weight of the law behind their subpoenas, etc. and so forth.

Well, Chris Dodd stood up and showed what can be accomplished when we, the real silent majority, fight for what is right. Dodd was fantastic, and those who stood right behind him, from Senator Feingold to The Young Turks to blogs across the land showed that yes, just as you would have thought, you really can best a faux-cowboy who's about as popular as amoebic dysentery.

Watch this video, as Chris Dodd thanks the netroots for all that was accomplished for our democracy yesterday.

A sane mind. Are you listening, Dianne Feinstein?

2008-01-12T20:32:54Z

I will vote against the nomination of Judge Mukasey to be the next Attorney General. This was a difficult decision, as Judge Mukasey has many impressive qualities. He is intelligent and experienced and appears to understand the need to depoliticize the Department of Justice and restore its credibility and reputation.
At this point in our history, however, the country also needs an Attorney General who will tell the President that he cannot ignore the laws passed by Congress. Unfortunately, Judge Mukasey was unwilling to reject the extreme and dangerous theories of executive power that this administration has put forward.
The nation's top law enforcement officer must be able to stand up to a chief executive who thinks he is above the law. The rule of law is too important to our country's history and to its future to compromise on that bedrock principle.

Sen. Harry Reid: Feingold/Reid Amendment Is Best Path For America, Iraq

2008-01-12T20:25:05Z

What he said:

"Today we turn again to Senator Feingold's amendment. I have cosponsored this amendment in the past, and do so again today. The Feingold/Reid amendment is another chance for us to show real leadership by forging a responsible and binding path out of Iraq.
"The amendment now before us puts into binding national policy a strategy that Democrats and some Republicans have advocated for months - a strategy that is the best path for the United States and for the people of Iraq. This legislation changes our fundamental mission away from policing a civil war - reduces our large combat footprint - and focuses on those missions which are in the U.S. national security interests.
"It exercises Congress's Constitutional powers to limit funding after June 1 of next year - well into the sixth year of the war - to counter-terrorism, force protection, and the targeted training of Iraqi forces. The Feingold/Reid Amendment recognizes that we have strong interests in Iraq and the Middle East, but it does not permit the open-ended role of US forces in a civil war to continue.
"Nearly all experts agree that six years after our country was attacked on 9/11, the President's preoccupation with Iraq has not made America any more secure. Afghanistan is under attack from the Taliban, with drug cultivation and trafficking at the highest level in years. Pakistan's tribal border areas have become an increasingly alarming safe haven where Bin Laden and a new generation of Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists remain free to plot terrorist attacks. And as we all know, Iraq is mired in civil war, with no political reconciliation in site.
"It's long past time for meaningless resolutions and minor policy tweaks. We need a major change of course in Iraq - one that responsibly brings our troops home, rebuilds the readiness of our military, and returns our focus to fighting a real war on terror against Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda network. I urge my colleagues to support this responsible and long-overdue legislation. It's time to chart a course out of Iraq and return our focus to the real and growing threats we face throughout the world.
"Yesterday the House of Representatives passed the Tanner bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. This legislation would require the President to provide Congress with reports within 60 days on the Administration's plans for drawing the war to a close. A number of our colleagues have called this a step in the right direction.
"We know that the Administration failed from the very beginning and repeatedly thereafter to adequately plan for the war in Iraq. We know that the President took us to war without a plan for peace. And ever since, his Administration has resisted any attempt to examine his failures or to consider broad changes to our strategy in Iraq.

Why Tuesday? Part 4: Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI)

2008-10-24T09:30:33Z

Jacob Soboroff got a chance to ask Senator Russ Feingold "why" today at the Clinton and Bernice Rose Senior Center in Milwaukee, WI. This was the Senator's 999th "Listening and Learning" session. Maybe he'll celebrate the 1000th by telling everyone why we vote on Tuesday!

Russ Feingold Argues That Democrats Must Do More Than Just Be "Outraged"

2008-10-14T11:23:03Z

He makes a strong argument. Give it a watch.

What was funny is that Senator Feingold came on just after my weekly segment called Republican Sexcapades. That must have been comfortable :)
