Bill Press: Senator Tom Harkin our guest on The Bill Press Show. Senator, your colleague and buddy Russ Feingold had a hearing last Friday on his motion to censure President Bush over the NSA spying program. Why haven+óGé¼Gäót more democrats lined up behind him?Senator Tom Harkin: Well, Bill, quite frankly I don+óGé¼Gäót know, and I+óGé¼Gäóm embarassed that more democrats haven+óGé¼Gäót lined up on this.
Senator Tom Harkin: I mean, for crying out loud, the republicans, they can see fit to impeach+óGé¼-ª IMPEACH a president, Bill Clinton for lying about having an extramarital affair. But they won+óGé¼Gäót stand for a censure. The democrats don+óGé¼Gäót have the guts to stand up to censure a president who misled us, who lied to the American people, who broke the law and violated the Constitution of the United States in spying on the American people. I tell you, we+óGé¼Gäóve got to get some more backbone to a lot of democrats. We need to hear from people. We need to hear from people. The American people need to know, and to show support for this resolution.
