And watch as the Dems eat their own!
Now, a coalition of progressive Democrats upset with Feinstein’s controversial votes will ask the California Democratic Party to censure her at its executive board meeting this weekend, the Huffington Post has learned.
The move comes as Feinstein again finds herself under fire for saying Thursday that she now supports granting legal immunity to telecom companies that shared customer email and phone messages with the federal government as part of the warrantless surveillance program.
“Dianne Feinstein does not listen to the people of California,” said Rick Jacobs, president of the Courage Campaign, a progressive organization in California. “She supports George Bush’s agenda time after time.”
And maybe, just maybe, they’ll start up a Senate investigation to look into a known crime, instead of the ones they’re currently running that go looking for crimes.
As Howie Klein and Glenn Greenwald note, her shady votes to steer huge government contracts to her husband should have triggered an ethics investigation long ago, and it should definitely be on our radar as something to push for in the coming months.
The times, they may be getting interesting.
