SACRAMENTO—A move to censure Sen. Dianne Feinstein, in part for voting to confirm Michael Mukasey as attorney general, fizzled late Saturday at a state Democratic Party executive board meeting in Anaheim.
State party Chairman Art Torres said the motion, sponsored by left-leaning activists, was excessive and would divide the party at a crucial time just before the 2008 race for the White House.
"It is not deserving of a censure," he said. "Send your letters to her, send your petitions to her. Let her know how you feel about these issues. But to censure, which to me means condemnation, we're feeding right into the Republicans' hands."

Rick Jacobs, founder of the Courage Campaign, one of the groups that sponsored the resolution, said he was satisfied that they'd made their point.
"We will be watching to make sure she votes in ways that make sense. And if not, we'll be back," he said. |
