This is getting kind of like Brett Favre's record for starting as QB-every time there's a game, it's a new record...While the President's position on illegal immigration is clearly resonating with many voters, it hasn't helped his sagging approval ratings. They sank to 37% in the poll, a new low.

Russ Feingold did a terrific job in the hearings on censure, and also on Faux News Sunday morning. "If we in the Congress don't stand up for ourselves and the American people, we become complicit in the lawbreaking." My favorite part of the hearings was when Russ responded to Arlen Specter's comment about how the censure document never mentioned bad faith on the President's part, and how could you havcensurere without bad faith. Russ basically said, Bad Faith? You want bad faith? I'll give you bad faith! Actually, of course, he was far more polite and eloquent, pointing out that though Arlen didn't help him draft the resolution, if he wanted it added, that was just fine with Russ. Russ came across as reasonable and calm,a s opposed to Lindsey Graham who came across as a rude grandstander.
