After Increasing Calls to Resign, Feinstein Seeking Temporary Judiciary Committee Replacement

Legal Insurrection: She asked Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to temporarily replace her on the Judiciary Committee.

In a statement, the long-serving Democratic senator said her recovery from a case of shingles she disclosed in early March had been delayed because of complications. She provided no date for her return to the Senate and said she had asked Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to serve in her committee seat until she was able to return.

“I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel,” Feinstein said. “In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco.”

Feinstein’s decision to seek a committee stand-in during her recovery comes amid increasing anxiety within her party that her lengthy absence has damaged Democratic efforts to confirm President Joe Biden’s nominees for federal courts in a narrowly divided chamber.

She is the oldest member of Congress, at 89. MORE

  2. I don’t share power. She’ll soon find out.

    I let the Democrats live so long because they do my work, true, but ALSO because it’s INSUFFERABLE the way they think they earned favor with me, and that this will somehow help them “Rule In Hell” or some shit.

    It’s really discoraging. It’s like they don’t even KNOW me!

    So no power for you in MY domain, Diane!

    Except the power it takes to keep your lava bath heated!
