Impeachment watch: Sen. Russ Feingold drops a hint

I'm not an original thinker on this subject, but it looks like the Dems will be running on an "Impeach Bush" platform in '06. Democrat Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin senator who might run for president in '08, is the latest to drop a hint, as AP reports.

Sen. Russ Feingold hasn't uttered the "i" word, but he won't preclude impeachment proceedings against President Bush over the administration's domestic surveillance program.

Feingold, D-Wis., was asked about the possibility of impeaching Bush during a campaign appearance with Senate candidate Bernie Sanders in Vermont on Saturday.
Feingold didn't use the word impeachment in his reply, but said he wouldn't take anything off the table.

"It's almost inconceivable that this was legally defensible," Feingold said, according to an account in the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
