The reaction of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to last week’s revelations that the CIA secretly searched Senate Intelligence Committee computers reveals much about what the elites in government think about the rest of us. “Spy on thee, but not on me!”
The hypocrisy of Sen. Feinstein is astounding. She is the biggest backer of the NSA spying on the rest of us, but when the tables are turned and her staff is the target she becomes irate. But there is more to it than that. There is an attitude in Washington that the laws Congress passes do not apply to Members. They can trample our civil liberties, they believe, but it should never affect their own freedom.

What a great illustration of what I've been telling you for a while --- they are not our "servants" any longer. They are our MASTERS. They don't think they answer to anyone and openly flaunt the very laws they pass. Unless they have already exempted themselves from them, which is the normal course of action for these slimy theives. And further, it shows just how supremely arrogant the NSA is....civil servants who (because they CANNOT be prosecuted for anything, thanks to -- LOL -- Congressional legislation) do whatever they want. Does ANYONE think they haven't blackmailed and extorted government officials with the treasure troves of information they possess??
