...Congress should pass a forward-looking resolution censuring President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for executive aggrandizements or abuses that have reduced Congress to vassalage and shredded the rule of law.
Nader and Fein need to rethink this, imo. Congress should have first initiated an impeachment proceeding against these two--and on conclusion, determined whether there were sufficient grounds for proceeding. But regardless of what they found, congress should have then censured itself for criminal neglect.
A censure for the heads of the first and fourth branches of govt. by congress would have zero effect on future executive leaaders. And would only enshrine this congress as more pathetic than the last one. Which in reality is probably not possible within the laws of man, God, or nature.
