Dianne Feinstein is moving to support Amnesty for Telcoms

Senator Feinstein is considering preemptively giving amnesty to big corporations in the telcom industry, yet, for years, she has failed to give a similar good faith consideration to LGBT Americans. Infact, she has failed over the years to even give the same consideration to LGBT Americans that the big corporations CURRENTLY have to present their case on a "case by case" basis to a Judge. LGBT Americans are not even given an opportunity to present their case to a BCIS investigator to consider an application to sponsor their partner for a green card. Why are LGBT Americans considered under law more apt to commit fraud and therefore denied due process? Why even consider sweeping legislation that would bypass the "case by case" review that even LGBT Americans are not entitled to and grant amnesty to big telcom corporations? I humbly doubt that Senator Feinstein has taken the time to really consider the relative guilt of either LGBT Americans, or Corporate collaborators. In both of these issues, fairness dictates that you should allow for a blind process to weigh the evidence. Any other determination on your part represents a lack of faith in the judicial process, and "Ms Feinstein knows better" As with the Uniting American Families Act and the TeleCom Amnesty issue, policy should be consistent: Support the authority of the judges and investigators in their job and allow for "case by case review.
