Jet lagged WARNING POLITICAL OPINIONS CONTAINED WIHIN
12 years ago
Read at your own risk. It's not a chain thing. I just connected some dots after five hours of lagged sleep and a brief jaunt on CNN.
Sorry this will be a text block from my phone but try to follow it through. was flipping through CNN after waking up from some jet lag and found this little quote from none other than Diane Feinstein. buried at the end of an article on a restriction to the patriot acts blanket phone surveillance: "Separate from the House action, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein has been leading an effort "to see if we can change some parts" of the program to meet privacy concerns. But she told CNN it would be "premature" to mandate changes now while their review is under way.
"We're very concerned by it. I think it would have a very negative effect on this nation's security to cancel out this program," Feinstein said. "This is a program that has disrupted, literally, terrorist plots that would have killed Americans. I don't understand why there needs to be a rush at this point and time."
That is the same senator who spearheaded the movement To make California's ineffective assault weapons ban applied on a national level after Newtown before the dead were laid to rest. With a measure that can only be described as railroading she called for "what the people wanted" before the crime scenes had even been examined, much less analyzed, and now she is saying she doesn't understand the "rush at this point in time" for restricting something that was overreaching in the first place?
It just struck me as a little odd that a senator seen as one of the forefronts a of the social justice through the use of railroading is saying: Wait. Lets not make any rash decisions. Something smells rotten here. And I think it's congress. Not only that but the White House is recommending against the ammendment. What happened to "move before the outrage fades?"
Anyways. My thoughts not yours.
