Blogging at Huffington Post, California's 75 year old junior Senator, Barbara Boxer (D-CA) opines that Republican candidates are being too harsh concerning refugees and jihadis. Oddly, her senior colleague Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) thinks Obama isn't being harsh enough.
Normally they're on the same page. In this case I believe Feinstein has access to intelligence Boxer doesn't see and that intel makes a difference.
Also Boxer has announced she will not run for reelection, while Feinstein has not spoken of her future plans. DiFi can certainly read the polls that say Americans are fed up with Obama's inaction on ISIS. Lame-duck Boxer - disregarding public opinion - agrees with our lame-duck President that the Syrians are fluffy little bunny rabbits we must cherish.
