Feingold says impeachment a possibility

U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., says he would not rule out calling for impeachment of President Bush over secret wiretaps and spying on U.S. citizens.
"I think there is an orderly and dignified way to find out what happened," Feingold told an audience in Burlington, Vt., Saturday. "And, if there was a legal violation there needs to be accountability ... you can't put the cart before the horse, but I would not rule out any form of accountability."
Feingold was in Vermont to stump for independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Jim Jeffords, the Vermont Guardian reported.
Asked by a supporter whether there was a way citizens could impeach Bush "here and now," Feingold said he first wants to hear the administration's justification for conducting domestic surveillance before determining what, if any, punishment should occur, the newspaper said.
Once that is known he said, there should be accountability.
"I'm not going to prejudge what that accountability should be," said Feingold.
