You Go, Russ!

Run, Russ, Run.

For President, that is.

Today, a Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended when Sen. Russ Feingold declared his opposition to the amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and his intention to leave the meeting.

Among Feingold's objections was Sen. Arlen Specter's decision to hold the vote in the President's Room, where access by the general public is restricted, instead of in the panel's usual home in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Another was that this measure (passed on purely party lines, with Specter voting for it though he claims he's against it) is pure pandering to the now-sorely-disaffected religious base of the GOP.

So Russ walked out.

You go, Russ! You go!
Run, Russ. Please run.
