This is utterly shocking.
She’s clearly suffering from dementia
and should be immediately dismissed. 
Democrats must be appalled, no?
Poor woman.[/quote]
This Democrat would love for her to resign, except the Republicans in the Senate have said they won’t replace her on the Judiciary Committee if she does. [/quote]

Agree.  Every Democrat and Progressive Independent that I know would love for her to resign, and think that she should have done so long ago. BUT, as the PP has said, we’re even more appalled at the way the Republicans would respond to her resignation.  [/quote]

This isn't true.  You guys are really gullible and believe half truths.  The Republicans have said they won't let her stay in the senate and have someone else temporarily serve on the judiciary committee.  https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/republicans-block-temporary-replacement-for-sen-feinstein-on-judiciary-committee#:~:text=Feinstein%20on%20Judiciary%20Committee,-Politics%20Updated%20on&text=WASHINGTON%20(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20Republicans%20blocked,Joe%20Biden%27s%20stalled%20judicial%20nominees.[/quote]
Did you read that article? It clearly said that Republicans already did not allow Cardin to replace Feinstein while she was sidelined earlier this year, and also that “several Republican senators said on Monday that they wouldn’t support the Democratic plan — both because they don’t want to help Democrats confirm liberal judges and because they don’t think senators should try to push out one of their own.” So there’s clearly a bloc who wants the Democratic majority vote on the committee eliminated. Why should she resign in that scenario? Of course Newsom would appoint her replacement to vote in the full Senate, but there’s no guarantee that there are 60 votes to replace her as the 11th Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, which without her or another Democrat would stay 50-50 with the ability to block every Biden judicial nominee going forward.

Also, there’s an entire thread about Feinstein here https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/919823.page where you will find me and the many other Democrats who wish she could retire and know a lot more about this than you do. And talking about her in a thread about Mitch McConnell is whataboutism.[/quote]

You’re misreading the article. If she leaves the senate, they get a new senator on the committee. They don’t get to appoint a proxy while she’s still in the senate. That’s not done. [/quote]
How do “they get a new Senator on the committee” exactly?[/quote]
