Feinstein is exhibit A against the argument that you should vote for the candidate, not the party. In general and certainly compared to other dems like her colleague from california Barbara Boxer, Feinstein is relatively sane. She is the perfect little student council to local government to mayor to congress story. One plucky woman, who happens to have a billionaire husband, working to make things better.
Only she doesn't really share all the concerns of average people it turns out. She is protected by armies of private security and even got her own little concealed carry permit, the kind they give immediately to the rich and connected in antigun states like California and NY.
She's not all that concerned about some poor people in south central LA or a farmer out in the valley or rancher in the high desert. She hates guns, at least those owned by other people. After all, isn't that why we have govenrment? To protect us every waking moment?
She was damned pissed when a ...shudder... republican dared lecture her on the Constitution. Like John McCain, if there is any moral outrage to be displayed, she will be the one displaying it. Not some AA mexican who just got elected to the Senate and probably doesn't even have a decent art collection. The very idea.
