Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) on the Senate floor made a similar case, saying, “Never, not once have we allowed temporary substitutes on committees and now is not the time to start.” He added that he hopes Feinstein recovers and comes back soon, but “Republicans are not going to … bail out Sen. Schumer or the Biden administration’s most controversial nominees.”

Some few found stones. Long term effects from short term actions.

We’ll see. I fear this is the first step in getting some kind of concession for GOP, ala Manchin.

It’s weird how the Dung Beetle Party kept Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg on life support for years but want Feinstein tossed out on her ass. I wonder what Feinstein did to bring down the wrath of the Dung Beetle Party on herself.

The RATs don’t seem concerned about wheeling Fetterman into the Senate every day on a gurney. Probably because he’s a man and Feinstein is an old lady.

I had Shingles-—and recovered without ANY hospitalization.
Only took L-Lysine to stop the nerve pain.
$5.40 for a bottle of 250 at Wal-Mart.

Good, good, good... Hold the line. Make Feinstein call it quits.

I wonder what Feinstein did to bring down the wrath of the Dung Beetle Party on herself. I think it's because of Ginsberg that the Democrats have no more patience with the old, sickly dinosaurs they keep electing.

Yeah the shingles story doesn’t really add up. I sure get sick of all the lies.
To: SeekAndFind
Without unanimous consent, it will take 60 votes in the Senate to replace Feinstein on the Committee. Repulicans are saying the way Dems want to do it, has never been done before. Dems are glossing over the unusual procedure and saying “it’s only fair”. I hope Republicans hold firm and we get to see Dems crying bitter tears.

Feinstein was often attacked from the Left in California. She was smeared as too Republican when she was rather moderate in her voting record. This was back in the day when radical Barbara Boxer was other Senator.

I always get slightly ill when some republican twit spews something like “deep respect” or “my good friend” for a Democrat. Frankenstein is a POS.

The fact that she hasn’t resigned should be a bat signal to everyone. The desire for influence, money and power, proves there is no dedication to the people she “represents” or even her party. Evil has no age limit.

Yep, absolutely. We are close to a “week end at Bernie’s” situation here and they want their cake and eat it too. Nope... Time to call their cards and force them to fold.

Different situation. Ginsburg, while frail, was still providing input - and of course it was the input they wanted.
The Senate Judiciary Committee - in the absence of Feinstein - is evenly divided, which means that nominees cannot get out of committee unless she votes. So they want to replace her on the committee with someone who can actually vote.
