I have a great respect for Senator Feingold.  I view him as one of the few people in the Senate who are focusing on issues that are debilitating to the process of government (campaign finance, e.g.).  I'm not sure I would support a censure over the NSA surveillance issue, but I do believe that people need to keep connecting the dots on the widespread abuse of power in this Presidency.  Too many people in the Congress want to "kiss that issue" as it goes by.  I do not understand what it is that the Administration wishes to conceal in the NSA issue, because it was a simple matter for them to file the appropriate notice at the time.  

This issue dovetails with others, to the point that it demonstrates a pattern.  For instance, the Ports issue is every bit as much about the hubris of the Administration, and its refusal to coordinate such important decisions, as it is about the contracts themselves.

Issues such as these are the main reason that one of the themes of our campaign is the need for the Congress to reassert itself as a co-equal branch of government.  And I believe Senator Feingold might be a strong ally in that respect.
