Old news, and something this liberal didn't ignore. She resigned back in March from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee as there was suspected of allowing her husband's company to profit from her position (the 'vet-care' scandal). Has Dick Cheney resigned from his role as Vice President? Has he taken himself from governmental decision making around Haliburton? No? Think about that.
All this tells us is that we need legislation that prevents conflicts of interest like these. Whether they're guilty or not (Feinstein was probably not, Cheney probably is), the opportunity for corruption should be taken away.
