Survival is nothing more than recovery.

Well, that day is gone, and it will not occur again.

Let me say this: I believe closing Guantanamo is in our Nation's national security interest. Guantanamo is used not only by al-Qaida, but also by other nations, governments, and individuals - people good and bad - as a symbol of America's abuse of Muslims, and it is fanning the flames of anti-Americanism around the world.

We have a chance to wind down and expedite the removal of 96 percent of the world's nuclear weapons. What an achievement it would be, if at the end of the next administration, we could say that the nuclear arsenals of both Russia and the United States had been reduced to the barest minimums.

Dianne Feinstein

Global warming is real. It is happening today. It is being charted by our satellites. It is being charted by our scientists. It is being charted by those of us in this body, and I think the real key is if we are ready to admit that fact and take the action to make the necessary conversion.

It is my belief that tax credits only go to people who are making money, and they generally keep it.

Dianne Feinstein

The time has come to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' It is the right thing to do. Every American should have the opportunity to serve their country, regardless of race, sex, creed, or sexual orientation.

Today we have a health insurance industry where the first and foremost goal is to maximize profits for shareholders and CEOs, not to cover patients who have fallen ill or to compensate doctors and hospitals for their services. It is an industry that is increasingly concentrated and where Americans are paying more to receive less.

Dianne Feinstein

I basically believe the medical insurance industry should be nonprofit, not profit-making. There is no way a health reform plan will work when it is implemented by an industry that seeks to return money to shareholders instead of using that money to provide health care.

Dianne Feinstein

If we want our nuclear stockpile to truly serve the interests of our country in a strategic, balanced manner, we have to change course. That means pursuing creative options such as reducing the weapons held in reserve.

Dianne Feinstein

Torture goes against the very soul of our country. We are a democracy, established on the rule of law.

Dianne Feinstein

Let me be crystal clear: There is no such thing as 'limited use' nuclear weapons, and for a Pentagon advisory board to promote their development is absolutely unacceptable.

Dianne Feinstein

Nuclear weapons present us with a paradox: We spend billions of dollars building and maintaining them in the hope that we never have to use them.

Dianne Feinstein

The sole purpose of nuclear weapons must be to deter their use by others.

Dianne Feinstein

Designing new low-yield nuclear weapons for limited strikes dangerously lowers the threshold for their use.

Dianne Feinstein

Simply put, Guantanamo is one of the best propaganda tools that terrorists have today. Our enemies use it to justify terrorism and recruit others to carry out violent jihad, and our allies continue to criticize it as a violation of the rule of law.

Dianne Feinstein

In addition to being a terrorist recruiting tool, Guantanamo is a huge drain on taxpayer dollars.

Dianne Feinstein

There's no reason to think a Guantanamo detainee is any more likely to escape from Supermax than any other federal prisoner.

Dianne Feinstein

Tax reform shouldn't add one penny to our deficit or to the tax bills of middle-class Americans.

Dianne Feinstein

Theft of a firearm should be punished as a felony, plain and simple.
