Diane Feinstein is old and needs to retire. She is completely out of touch with the needs of her constituency, and comes off more like an old guard republican rather then a democrat that she is supposed to be.
geeeez, how long is Cali going to foist Feinstein on the rest of the country. The level of idiocy is just beyond painful... Edit to add: of course the same could be said about the remaining 49 states and their reps/sens as well...

Yea, here is Colorado we have Cory Gardner. Rank and file republican in an increasingly deep blue state. Currently leading the pack as most hostile to his constituent's interests: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/

This is true of most Democrats these days, except when they want to pander to minorities or other disadvantaged groups who could use real, actual allies instead of the panderers. I am amazed and humbled by these folks' perseverance in the face of a two party system in which one party apparently hates them and the other thinks so little of them that their best efforts at being allies generally consists of terrible pandering.

Unfortunately the Democrats have been trying to out-Republican the Republicans since the Clinton administration. (When the party really embraced getting all married-up with wealthy donors, and inevitably turned its back on its traditional roots.)
Feinstein is just old and out of touch. She still thinks that Hollywood is an economic driving force in California.
Kumala Harris is our replacement for Boxer. Hopefully we can get someone a little more liberal to replace Feinstein.
How did we get to this point? Nobody would reasonably argue that extreme surveillance measures, patriot act, etc., is necessary to stop the vast majority of crimes from occurring, so why is it so easy for seemingly serious/intelligent people to think this nonsense is reasonable?
Members of our government are so indoctrinated about stopping "terrorism" that they have lost all sense of perspective. Terrorism is a political word to describe political enemies of the state, yet the patriot act and surveillance machinery has been used in enforcement of many other kinds of (less serious) crime.
I am surprised anyone can still use the word "terrorism" with a straight face anymore after it's become so clear that there is no large existential threat (merely the occasional zealot who acts out due to his/her own mental health issues). And in spite of a historically unprecedented global surveillance system there have been no attacks thwarted.
Comey is a symptom of the kind of cowardly, authority-respecting society we've become. I look forward to the day when our FBI director is not someone whose gaffes and judgment calls we read about in the newspaper on a regular basis.
