Although Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is nominally a Democrat, I've been forced to deal with her right-wing ideas for years. I think it started with her support of Internet censorship in the mid-'90s.
Feinstein also helped ram through the confirmation of Michael Mukasey and continues to support the failed Patriot Act.
Now Feinstein doesn't want Leon Panetta as head of the CIA, because Panetta refuses to support torture. In Panetta's stead, Feinstein wants Stephen Kappes. That's because Kappes apparently hasn't objected to the illegal torture techniques that flourished under his watch.
This is what happens when the Democrats surrender their whole party to the DLC.
