Dianne Feinstein has passed away

[Professor Emeritus]

republicans said they wouldn't confirm any federal judges nominated by biden.

Republicans line up against replacing Feinstein on critical committee

It would take at least 10 GOP votes to let Democrats replace the ailing Californian on the pivotal Judiciary panel — a mark that's effectively out of reach.

Right. This isn't good. I understand now why she kept her position now. Sure some hubris was involved but it was a calculated political move.

So they were stupid enough to allow that in 2022, right? That's when they could have stopped this situation?

The arrogance and selfishness is overwhelming.

She is missing votes on comitees that are vital to the interests of black people. Especially in the south, where these federal judges are the only thing stopping the demons in charge of the states from victimizing black people.


"Feinstein’s absence has been most acute on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where her absence has left Democrats at a 10/10 split and without its usual majority." -the hill

Yeah it's bad but like breh said earlier, Republicans are refusing to seat a Democrat replacement for her.

That's not normally done, and no one could have expected that.

Mixed feelings. Became the wealthiest senator in history due to graft and insider trading (net worth approx $200 million). A shameless woman, but did lead legislation on assault weapon bans and veterans rights in the 80s. Went out very very sad.

Should have resigned years ago instead of holding on damn near senile. And scummy ass Pelosi wanted her to stay until this last term so they can put that scumbag Adam Schiffter in. Newsome gonna put Barbara Lee in now
