==Political positions==
Feinstein supported the [[Iraq war]] resolution in the vote of October 11, 2002 but has said she was misled by the President. She is also strongly opposed to 2nd amendment rights, one of her first accomplishments in the Senate was passing an assault weapons ban and she unsuccessfully sponsored legislation that would require licensing of all guns. While she is not considered a [[conservative]], Feinstein is considered more moderate than most Democrats from the San Francisco Bay Area. Feinstein supports the [[USA PATRIOT Act]] saying it helps the "protection of the American people." She supported the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and supported the GOP's Medicare prescription-drug bill in 2003. She is also a supporter of [[capital punishment]] and was the main Democratic sponsor of the 2006 constitutional flag burning amendment.
In January 2009, the issue was raised whether Feinstein violated Senate ethics rules to avoid appearances of conflicts of interest when she introduced legislation that gave $25 billion to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to help finance an FDIC proposal to avoid home foreclosures by promoting loan workouts and increasing federal loan guarantees. Just before the FDIC had signed a contract with CBRE, her husband's firm, to unload foreclosed properties for prices higher than industry averages. Spokesmen for the FDIC, Feinstein and CBRE said there was no connection between the legislation and the contract and that the couple didn't know about CBRE's business with FDIC until after it was awarded.<ref>[https://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/feinstein_fdic_husband/2009/04/21/205455.html]</ref>
