   ""The Hill reports, 'Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne
   Feinstein (D-Calif.) predicted Sunday that [2]lawmakers who favored
   shutting down the bulk collection of telephone metadata would not be
   successful in their efforts as Congress weighs potential reforms to the
   nation's controversial intelligence programs. "I don't believe so,"
   Feinstein said during an appearance on NBC's [3]Meet the Press (video).
   "The president has very clearly said that he wants to keep the
   capability So I think we would agree with him. I know a dominant
   majority of the — everybody, virtually, except two or three, on the
   Senate Intelligence Committee would agree with that." ... "A lot of the
   privacy people, perhaps, don't understand that we still occupy the role
   of the Great Satan. New bombs are being devised. New terrorists are
   emerging, new groups, actually, a new level of viciousness," Feinstein
   said. "We need to be prepared. I think we need to do it in a way that
   respects people's privacy rights."'""
   In other words, "We need to violate people's privacy rights in a way
   that respects people's privacy rights."
