Democrat Feingold Gives Obama a ‘D’

Sunday Paper - May 3rd, 2009

Senator Russ Feingold (D) WI, head of a subcommittee on the Constitution gave Obama a grade of ‘D’ in a “rule of law” report card for the manner in which he has dealt with state secrets.  What’s interesting here is that we have a Democrat cracking a Democrat, signs that Feingold most likely is concerned with distancing himself from the radical Obama in the eyes of his constituents.  Apparently, democrats in Wisconsin aren’t exactly elated with Barack Obama.

“Restoring the rule of law is not a partisan issue,” Feingold told ABC News. “One hundred days into this administration, it’s appropriate to assess how well the president has done so far. I recognize that some of these issues will take time, but given how important these issues are to the country, Americans deserve a fair assessment of the administration’s progress.”

Obama’s “D” on state secrets, which Feingold characterized as “troubling,” is a timely reminder that this is one area where the new president has raised concern among some progressives. In the first 100 days, the Obama administration has invoked the state secrets privilege in three cases: Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama, Mohammed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, and Jewel v. NSA.
