Senator Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) called for a sharp rebuke of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s behavior at the “State of the Union” address given by President Barack Obama. During the President’s remarks characterizing a recent Supreme Court decision as a threat to democracy, Justice Alito was observed to be shaking his head and silently mouthing the words “not true.”
“President Obama is the one who was elected by the people to rule this country,” Feingold said. “Obstructing the governance of this country through bad judicial decisions or by letting himself be seen publicly disagreeing with the president is the type of thing my legislation was devised to control.”
Feingold admitted that “we don’t have the votes to impeach Alito. That takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate and Republicans are sure to block that.” But held that “a censure vote only requires a majority.” The Senator said he hoped that “the public condemnation of a censure would give average people the moral support they need in order to carry out the President’s call for them to ‘get in the faces of those who oppose my agenda for change and let them know they won’t get away with it.’”
Senator Feingold’s feelings on this issue run strong. It was the McCain-Feingold Bill’s ban on independent advocacy expenditures that the Supreme Court decision invalidated. “Because of Alito and others on the Court, anyone can say anything about any public official whenever they want,” Feingold complained. “Candidates now will have no protection from unauthorized criticisms in the key weeks running up to election day. We’ve lost control of the election process. It’s a sad day for America.”
In related news, fresh from a private briefing with President Obama, international investor and major lobbyist/financier for liberal political causes, George Soros, announced that he would head up efforts “to bury the opponents of President Obama with a blizzard of campaign dollars, just like we did in the 2008 election. Let’s see if the Court’s ruling will enable the so-called ‘independent’ enemies of the President can match us.”

Senator Russ Feingold (Communist-Wis.)
You almost had me there, until I realized you wrote this. :)
Feingold is a nutcase.
If this is true then small wonder this fool is headed to defeat in the fall.
Satire.
Oh good!!!
Maybe Alito will spill the beans on the cheeky Kenyan bastard.
I am allowed to dream, no?
“Feingold admitted that ‘we don’t have the votes to impeach Alito. That takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate and Republicans are sure to block that.’”
Meaning Feingold actually wants to impeach Alito? For mouthing something during the state of the union?!? Is he insane?
No. Alas, Fiengold is angry that his awful piece of legislation (aka the Incumbency Protection Act) had a little shaved off the top. He’ll latch onto to anything and everything to payback the people who messed with his baby.
““President Obama is the one who was elected by the people to rule this country,” Feingold said. “Obstructing the governance of this country through bad judicial decisions or by letting himself be seen publicly disagreeing with the president is the type of thing my legislation was devised to control.”
That’s a pretty scary quote. So we have some silly thing like SCOTUS interpreting the constitution getting the way of the ruler and we need to get them out of the way.
The Ruler?? We don’t have those here, but we seem to have plenty of arrogance coming out of the party of fail. I can’t wait until Nov. when they get shown who rules this country in a way they won’t soon forget.
Almost got me...
I had the hi-light pen all ready to go...((;O)
Feingold bases his argument for censure on the premise that the Executive Branch, i.e., the President, is more powerful than the Judiciary. This is how wrongheaded the far left is. I could easily argue that 0bama should be censured for publicly humiliating the SCOTUS. Remember Russell, SCOTUS=President=Congress, not President > Congress > SCOTUS. Get your priorities straight.
Also Russell, you POS, complaining that corporations now have the right to criticize candidates right before elections is antithetical to the meaning of the 1st Amendment you moron.
I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic! We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!
Words cannot possible describe my feelings right now. Just when you think the Dums can’t get more demonic. . by God they GET MORE DEMONIC. The Democrat Party is nothing but a criminal organization and a gang of thieves. Please God, let November come early this year so that we can sweep this pathetic garbage out of Washington.
The really disturbing thing about this satire is how believable it was for the first few sentences. In only a slightly altered reality, it may well have been true.
It is hoped that Democrats will be cleaned out of the
U.S. Government in November, 2010.
IMHO
The dems are near impossible to spoof because with those scoundrels. . ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
“Let’s see if the Court’s ruling will enable the so-called ‘independent’ enemies of the President can match us.”
Hey, doofus, you guys already had the benefit of of more Evil Corporations than ever lifted a finger to propagandize for the right. You know, those little things they call Hollywood, network television, major newspapers, major newsmags, major publishing houses, and so forth. Allowing little people with little documentaries that hardly anyone was ever going to see anyway have a voice won’t do much to alter the Democrat’s huge advantage in the world of corporate influence (for good reason, since investing in Democrats makes good economic sense—if not for the economy as a whole, then for individual businesses).
OK, let’s make this an issue: Did the Supreme Court Justice tell the truth when he claimed Obama told something that was not true? Yep, Obama LIED.
“““President Obama is the one who was elected by the people to rule this country,” Feingold said. “Obstructing the governance of this country through bad judicial decisions or by letting himself be seen publicly disagreeing with the president is the type of thing my legislation was devised to control.””
That is a VERY SCARY quote. Feingold is a jackass and should be thrown out of any and every government office.
“...to rule this country...” (WTF?????)
We don’t have rulers! Besides, Obama can’t rule a “s-it!”
