Russell Dana "Russ" Feingold (b. March 2, 1953) is a Democratic junior United States Senator from the state of Wisconsin. He has served in the senate since 1993. He was the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act in 2001, comparing it to Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus and the internment of Japanese citizens during World War II.[1]
Feingold was the first senator to call for a specific date for troop withdrawal of U.S. forces in the Iraq War on August 17, 2005. When President Bush pointed out a specific timetable would play into the terrorists' hands, Feingold stated that "not talking about endgames" was advantageous for the terrorists. [2]
