Has Feinstein jumped the shark?

Dianne Feinstein has made some interesting decisions about what she will and won't support the past few months. From my viewpoint it seems she has reversed a lot of her stances taken prior to the election. Her support of Casey truly bothered me since I viewed him as shifty with his refusal to answer a direct, and simple, question.

Now she believes that visitors to the smithsonian should be charged admission. The Smithsonian is a depository for our public history. It is where the tangible view of our past is housed and protected. But the Smithsonian is being allowed to fall apart. They need funding from congress to repair and restore the buildings. If congress doesn't fund this repair, we stand to lose valuable items that we won't ever be able to replace.

Instead of championing this cause, Feinstein has suggested that we need to charge visitors. Make the Smithsonian into a profitable institution instead of a public trust.

I'm disenchanted with the woman.
