My guess is that she sees her political fortunes as being tied to the programs. She is head of the Senate Intelligence Committee - she has been rubber-stamping them for years. If the NSA goes down, she goes down as an enabler.
- vinhboy 13y agoYou make a good point, but what is the benefit of going down with your ship here. It's not like the gun debate where there are two sides to pander to. In this scenario, there are people who hate spying, and people who don't care. I have not met anyone who wanted MORE spying...Shouldn't she just turn around and champion dismantling the NSA, to win popular support, so she can stay in power.
