We recall that California Sen.
Dianne Feinstein was once
strangely opposed to Dem efforts to curtail Rethug obstruction through the filibuster, ostensibly because the Rethugs would retaliate should they ever get the Senate majority (
ed. -- who really believes they wouldn't anyway??). Now,
Feinstein is adding her voice to the Rethug chorus saying that we're less safe from terrorism than we were 2 years ago, despite the fact that al Qaeda leadership has been decimated and dozens of drone strikes are taking their toll on al Qaeda and their affiliates. Oh, and we killed Osama Bin Laden, too, and captured major al Qaeda leaders. Feinstein even threw in a right-wing theme when she cited "sharia law" as a culprit:
"[Islamists believe] that is that the West is responsible for everything that goes wrong and that the only thing that's going to solve this is Islamic Sharia law."
Oh my! We better ban "sharia law" in all 50 states, even if it's irrelevant to overriding Federal and state statutes. Now you're talking like Sean "Heil" Hannity, Dianne, congrats on your "bipartisanship." C'mon, Senator, you can do better.
