Dianne Feinstein Hears You

Your voice was heard.

This week, New Security Action members sent over 50,000 letters to Democratic Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, encouraging them to stand up for justice and stand with Holder. Senator Dianne Feinstein was clearly listening, offering a strong defense of Holder and article three courts and a pointed critique of her fearmongering colleagues:

And I've come to the conclusion that a lot of the attacks are just to diminish you. And I don’t think you should buy into that at all. I think you should remain strong...I also understand why the best interests of our country are served if you remain strong and make the decisions based on the legal facts and where we best get a conviction. And I just want to urge you to remain strong in that respect. The record of the article three courts in the conviction of terrorists in this country is unparalleled. And that is absolute fact.

PBS's News Hour with Jim Lehrer provided good coverage of the hearing with more stellar quotes from Senator Feinstein:
