No one thought, surely, that Bush would actually be censured; but that
this is happening at all is a noteworthy event in American history. The
only other time I know of its being attempted was in 1834, against
Jackson. A resolution of censure is an expression of the Senate's views;
it carries no legal sanctions. The Senate could censure a ham sandwich
if it wanted to.
However, I see that that 60% of the American people disapprove of the
way Bush is doing his job*, and this his 'numbers' are falling in every
heading under which questions were asked of the poll takers. Fact, not bash.
