Comment on Petition to impeach Judge Roger Vinson for authorizing NSA Verizon surveillanceparent

Comments

Feinstein is a long-time advocate for the national security state. She is up for reelection in 2018 in a state where she will not have a credible challenger from another party in a general election or her own party in the primaries.

You can contact her if you feel better. As for me, I have a folder full of form letter responses from her office explaining why it's so important that our civil liberties and privacy be curtailed to ensure our security. I don't think adding another letter to my collection will help anything. And I doubt her responses will do anything other than enrage you further.

The only sensible response at this point is to work to get her out of office in 2018. But I don't have hope for that, either.

100% agree here. I loath that she is has no challengers. I had heard that she was going to retire and not run in 2012. I was so looking forward to that primary and when I saw her name on it my heart fell.

Unfortunately, the best we can hope for is that she retires in 2018.
