Today John W. Dean, Nixon's White House Counsel, told senators that Bush's illegal domestic spying is worse than Watergate. The man who himself spent four months in prison for the Nixon scandal spoke in support of the censure resolution introduced by Senator Feingold.

Feingold's measure would condemn Bush's "unlawful authorization of wiretaps of Americans within the United States without obtaining the court orders required" by the FISA act.
"If we in the Congress don't stand up for ourselves and the American people, we become complicit in the lawbreaking," Feingold, D-Wis., told the panel. "The resolution of censure is the appropriate response."
