CA-Sen: Senator Dianne Feinstein Doesn’t See The Point in Debating Republican Elizabeth Emken
California U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein talking to the San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board
Well, it is clear that Senator Feinstein will NOT be debating her opponent, Republican Elizabeth Emken.
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, in the midst of a 2012 re-election campaign, said today that she has no intention of debating her GOP opponent, Danville activist Elizabeth Emken, because “I haven’t seen the point.”
Feinstein, who has served in the U.S. Senate since 1992, made the comments today during an hour-long Chronicle editorial board session.
Just weeks ago, California’s senior senator walked out on ABC 7?s Mark Matthews when he asked her about her decision this time to sidestep a debate. (“Some reporters get under your skin,” she laughed, when we noted that.)
I had DiFi’s previous refusal to debate Elizabeth Emken here, as Feinstein get testy with a reporter.
Here is today’s video:

I understand that the Senator is a long-standing and seasoned POL. Most Californians know her stands on the issues and she will win in a landslide.
But, to refuse to debate her opponent leaves a bad taste in most voter’s mouths, including mine.

Paradox: California Death Row Inmates Oppose Proposition 34
The lethal injection table at San Quentin Prison, California
Go figure.
California death row inmates oppose California Proposition 34 which will abolish the death penalty.
Why?
Prisoner appeal rights would be dramatically curtailed.
Like other state prisoners, the 725 inmates on California’s Death Row can’t vote. But if they could, there’s evidence that most of them would vote against a November ballot initiative to abolish the death penalty.
It’s not that they want to die, attorney Robert Bryan said. They just want to hang on to the possibility of proving that they’re innocent, or at least that they were wrongly convicted. That would require state funding for lawyers and investigators – funding that Proposition 34 would eliminate for many Death Row inmates after the first round of appeals.
I grow tired with the anti-capital punishment crowd, including state and federal judges who obstruct the enforcement of California law.
I, too, will be voting for California Proposition 34 in November, but it won’t be to preserve inmate appeal rights, but to obtain justice for the many victims of these convicted criminals.

Day By Day September 23 and 24, 2012 – “Being Grilled” and “Pharaoh”
Chris, I missed you the past few days! Glad to see you back online!
President Obama’s feckless foreign policy is on display at the United Nations this week. To think that former President Clinton is meeting with foreign leaders while Obama goes on “The View.”
Incredible.
