Feinstein's Bill is designed to be outrageous. This way they can back down on certain points, appear to be reasonable people and still achieve their goals.

It is an old politician's trick. Push for 100% when you want 50%-60%.

The goverment frequently uses this tactic when attempting to prosecute somebody. They "Dog Pile" charges onto the case and hope as many as possible stick.
