Feinstein Sucks.

From the "update" to Glenn Greewald's latest post:
UPDATE (by Glenn): The USA Today editorialized quite strongly today against the Flag Desecration Amendment, and then provided space for an editorial in favor of the Amendment. Who wrote the editorial favoring this Amendment? The increasingly odious Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who insults everyone's intelligence with this inane "reasoning":

Some opponents of the Flag Protection Amendment argue that we must choose between trampling on the flag and trampling on the First Amendment. I strongly disagree.

There is no idea or thought expressed by the burning of the American flag that cannot be expressed equally well in another manner. This Amendment would leave both the flag and free speech safe. (emphasis mine)

As Greenwald also points out: so now Feinstein gets to tell us what is an "appropriate" way to protest and what is not?

Yeah those African Americans during the civil rights movement caused such a disturbance. All of their lunch counter sit-ins, marches, and bus strikes. I am sure they could have found a much more "appropriate" ways to protest. Like they could of written letters to the newspaper or something. And don't get me started about those feminist "bra-burners" during the 70s. How "inappropriate"!

Jesus H Christ. Call Feinstein and tell her (politely) what an idiotic pandering dumb ass thing this was for her to write. Here is the number for her Washington D.C. office: (202) 224-3841
