President Obama says the NSA should continue to spy on U.S. Citizens and that’s all you need to know, according to Dianne Feinstein.
On Sunday Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Feinstein (D-Calif.) said lawmakers who favored shutting down the bulk collection of telephone metadata would be unsuccessful in their efforts as Congress considers reforms to the nation’s controversial intelligence programs.
“I don’t believe so,” Feinstein said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The president has very clearly said that he wants to keep the capability… So I think we would agree with him. I know a dominant majority of the — everybody, virtually, except two or three, on the Senate Intelligence Committee would agree with that.”
On Friday, the president announced a series of modest reforms to the top-secret surveillance programs, including a new requirement mandating intelligence agencies obtain judicial approval before reviewing databases of information about telephone calls.He also ordered members of his administration to figure out a way to end the federal collection of the phone records, with the data instead likely to be held by telephone companies or a third party.

The “dominant majority” (of citizens) want this shut down!
they are killing us off one at a time. stand or fall. all i got to say.
another Dum SOB!!!!!
What brain dead idiot elected this mental midget to congress? How is she not asking me if id like fries with my order? With every one of her moronic rants, she makes me lose more and more respect for California, and the “dominant majority” of its residents.
Who does this old woman think she is… She’s not my representative; why is anyone even asking her for her opinion! She’s not a security expert, who asked her to decide what is best for American citizens? Retire the old goat.
she is the congresswoman who firmly believes that if a criminal with a gun (intent on harming law abiding innocent members of society) enters a gun free zone with said gun, he will lay it down and surrender once he realizes no one is armed. she actually said that on capital hill. Wow, so what happened in all those school shootings? all those illegally obtained firearms brought into schools which have her famous gun deterrent, signage?
get rid of this brain dead c— we don’t need or want her kind of bull$#%&!@* anywhere near our country.
Nut case
They are all a bunch of blithering idiots!
Looks like the bride of Chucky -only the bride of Chucky was a more kind loving person…
