The Hill ^ | 10/2/13 | Brendan Sasso

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said he will push legislation to end the NSA's controversial program to collect records on all U.S. phone calls.

But Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, argued that the phone data program is critical for protecting national security.

See, this is the sort of stuff, when I see it, that makes me realize what's up.

Feinstein could care less about 'public safety' as regards gun control. She merely wants us easier to round up to the concentration camps.

Feinstein is so bad, she makes even Leahy look good by contrast.

“I will do everything I can to prevent this program from being canceled,” Feinstein said during the hearing....”

The first question anyone needs to ask is how is she or her husband making money off this program.

Feinstein: In favor of the government’s executions at Ruby Ridge; in favor of the mass extermination at Waco. In favor of spying on Americans; in favor of accruing a personal arsenal for herself and the little mister; against the citizens’ right to possess firearms.

Ben-Gurion would weep.

Her husband Richard C. Blum is a fatcat defense contractor, made fatter (and perhaps cattier) by wifey's steering of contracts his way.

“Diane Feinstein is a Jewish Nazi.”

And she’s 80 years old, so this is her last hurrah! She will soon follow the Lautencorpse into whatever Jewish Hell there is! She’s not going to run again in 2018 and maybe if we are lucky, she will be “called home” in the interim.

I think they are all pretty revolting personally. Choosing one over the others would be a daunting task.

Is Feinstein the one who wants to put Tea Party people in re-education camps?

No, the first question anyone needs to ask is what does the NSA have on her, and the same goes for a whole lot of these NSA buttboys.

The two are not mutually exclusive.
