Feinstein won't seek top Judiciary Committee spot after complaints from progressives

Schumer previously said he had a "long and serious talk" with Feinstein

Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., reportedly won't seek to maintain her role as the top Democrat on the committee.

Feinstein announced the news on Monday amid backlash surrounding her handling of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation.

“After serving as the lead Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for four years, I will not seek the chairmanship or ranking member position in the next Congress," she said. “I look forward to continuing to serve as a senior Democrat on the Judiciary, Intelligence, Appropriations and Rules committees as we work with the Biden administration on priorities like gun safety, immigration reform and addressing inequities in criminal justice. I will continue to do my utmost to bring about positive change in the coming years.”

After the hearings, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he had a "long and serious talk" with Feinstein. Top left-leaning groups -- NARAL Pro-Choice America, Demand Justice, and Fix Our Senate, previously demanded her resignation.

“This nomination is illegitimate and this process is a sham," NARAL President Ilyse Hogue said in a press release mid-October. "Tens of millions of Americans have already voted and majorities have said unequivocally that they want to choose the next President who should fill this seat."

She should be put out to pasture on some farm. You know, the kind of farm people used to take their old dog to before they died.

He’s old as dirt, too.

Wasn’t he supposed to retire, a few years back?

Geez.....these people never stop grifting.

What the heck? They didn’t like her handling of Amy Coney Barrett? She wasn’t mean enough? She wasn’t aggressive enough against the nomination? What the heck?

she didn’t pull out a 9mm colt commander during the opening statement and pump 4 rounds of hollow point into ACB’s chest.

that’s pretty much what the “progressives” were demanding.

lust for power is the original fountain of youth, I suppose. I guess the #metoo hysterics will overlook this patriarchal molestation of poor DiFi.

The Squad wasn’t too tickled about seeing Diane and Lindsey Graham exchanging smiles and compliments after the supreme court appointment was secured. I think they may have even hugged very briefly. AOC & The Gang “exploded!”

Could be Crazy Mazie, Dick "Stolen Valor" Blumenthal, or I, Sparticus Booker. The possibilities are endless...

We certainly did. I think Kavanaugh may have changed that.

Look, here’s rule #1 on what you do when your opponent is eating itself: watch.

And this is the senate. Just wait till Nancy treats a squadster like a second class congressman (which, strictly speaking, they all are)

That’s going to be an epic catfight.
