Feingold to call for rare presidential censure

From CNN.com:

WASHINGTON: A top Democratic senator said he plans to introduce Monday a resolution calling for President Bush to be censured for his domestic wiretapping program. Sen. Russ Feingold, a potential presidential candidate, told CNN's "American Morning" the surveillance program is illegal and he will fight against the "intimidation campaign" that the Bush administration has launched to defend it. Feingold, a member of the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees, said a censure would "send a clear signal" that Bush's actions were "wrong."
