Today, the New York Times reported on Hillary Clinton proposing legislation that would repeal the authorization that gave President Bush the power to invade Iraq.
This afternoon, Gov. Bill Richardson sent out a press release applauding Sens. Clinton and Byrd for their efforts:

"As I said in my February speech to the DNC and have repeated many times since, this is the best course of action.
Indeed, repealing President Bush's authorization is a good idea. But aren't Clinton and Richardson just following the leader on this one?
