This legislation reminds me that as crazy as people like Donald Trump are, there are equally crazy people already serving in our government.

I don't think our legislators are "crazy", I just think they fall too far on one side of some values spectrum. In this case, Feinstein cares too much about national security and federal LEO tools and not enough about personal and data security.
Uhm I don't think so.

I consider Mr. Donald a special case. Who would have had audacity to sue an airport over plane's noise... twice!

His Wiki read is really a material for a good movie. From over 150 lawsuits Mr. Trump is involved, the most hilarious seems to be his feud with Bill Maher.

Wiki does a better job at describing it...

Trump sued comedian Bill Maher for $5 million in 2013. Maher had appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and had offered to pay $5 million to a charity if Trump produced his birth certificate to prove that Trump's mother had not mated with an orangutan. This was said by Maher in response to Trump having previously challenged Obama to produce his birth certificate, and offering $5 million payable to a charity of Obama's choice, if Obama produced his college applications, transcripts, and passport records. Trump produced his birth certificate and filed a lawsuit after Maher was not forthcoming, claiming that Maher's $5 million offer was legally binding. "I don't think he was joking," Trump said. "He said it with venom." Trump withdrew his lawsuit against the comedian after eight weeks.
