Feinstein's absences have impacted judicial nominations.

I’m posting this not as a criticism of Feinstein, but as information for consideration as time moves on.

I am appreciative of her dedication and long distinguished career. The situation is not a good one.

2. I appreciate her long years of service and she should step down from Judiciary Comm.

I am a San Franciscan and remember when Moscone and Milk were killed and how she stepped up. That said business needs to be taken care of and if she’s not up to the task she needs to resign and move on.

5. Can she not agree to step down from the judiciary committee so they can continue

to do their work?

7. No, we need 60 votes to get someone else on the committee...if she steps down.

She needs to come back or resign. We don't have a good Senate map in 2024 with Manchin, Tester, Sinema, and even Sherrod Brown up for reelection among others.

8. Are you telling me that each person on the committee must be voted in by 60 votes?

They are not adding a member they are exchanging a member. Shouldn't each committee, especially in the majority, be able to change committee members? I thought that this was democracy.
