"Fools and Feingold"

That's the title of this op/ed in the Investors Business Daily. Perhaps it's a take-off on the old adage "Fools and their gold are soon parted."

In any case, Feingold certainly has taken leave of his senses. Many of the other Democrats are less principled -- and more craven.

In keeping with what I notd here, the IBD points out that if the program were as unconstitutional as Feingold et al claims it is, then the Democrats who knew about the program -- Daschle, Pelosi, Rockefeller and others -- had a duty to speak up. They didn't. Should we censure them, too?

And the IBD correctly notes that censure is a non-constitutional, meaningless penalty that has no place in the Constitution or in our politics.
