    Actually, calling for a censure of Bush makes a lot of sense. It will give the country information about which Senators support Bush and which don't....and their reasons. It will also set the stage for a possible impeachment trial once the House figures out what to do. If the House exercised its power of "Inherent Contempt", they could give Scooter and all the rest immunity and call them all to testify. If they didn't, the sargeant at arms would simply lock them up in the basement of congress until they decided to spill the beans. As long as Bush has directed the US atty's office to not prosecute any contempt of congress charges that might be brought, the House and Senate have no choice but to use their Inherent Contempt powers. As those called to testify begin to sing, the censure and impeachment will make a lot more sense....as all the evidence will be evident. Let's lock up these lunatics once and for all. John Higgins
