"Censure is not a cure for the devastating toll this administration’s actions have taken on this country. But when future generations look back at the terrible misconduct of this administration, they need to see that a co-equal branch of government stood up and held to account those who violated the principles on which this nation was founded."[...]
"While I still am not convinced that Congress should pursue impeachment, you made some great points about how important it is to hold this administration accountable for its terrible misconduct," Feingold wrote to the Daily Kos community. "That includes tough oversight by Congress, but we should do more than that. The history books should show that Congress formally condemned this President, and others in the administration who have so brazenly misled the American people and undercut the rule of law."
That's swell, Russ. But impeachment would take care of both future generations through the history books and this generation, which is the one suffering the effects of leaving these guys in office right now. This administration's actions haven't finished taking a "devastating toll" - it's continuing until we stop them. And it would be my guess that those future generations you want to know how you so boldly disagreed with the president's actions, who will be suffering under the effects of whatever else he comes up with, will be wondering why, when you had the power to do so, you did not stop him.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
