oh our righteous steadfast and stalwart State

SF Chronicle has this on Senator Diane Feinstein:
Feinstein is 'not one to simply take the direction or pressure from even very important and very responsible outside groups, including those in the civil rights community', said Douglas Kmiec, a Pepperdine University law professor and former Justice Department official under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. 'She has her own mind.'

Feinstein is usually described as a moderate, and her record varies from issue to issue. She voted to authorize the invasion of Iraq in 2003, supported Bush's initial tax cuts in 2001 and Republican-sponsored restrictions on class-action lawsuits in 2005, and often crosses party lines on immigration and crime.

[...]

'She has been critically important', said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond (Va.) law professor. 'When it's close, she's the person the Republicans look to.'"

During last Thursday's whirlwind 4 hour Senate Judiciary meeting, the immediate passing of huge new Judicial Salary increases was repeatedly broached.

So now the courts show that they are really fine team players.

The People, as opponents to Telecom Immunity passing, should not lose stride over opposition to Telcom Immunity just because the courts at the moment are making it seem moot and meaningless by blocking discovery now, at seemingly each new turn.

If Telcom Immunity was such a moot point, the pols wouldn't be conspiring at this very moment on ways to ram it through.

I remembered that the home page of Build Freedom has a video that mentions that government plans to something like triple or quadruple our prison present populations very shortly. I think I'll post that here:
