California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who announced earlier this week that she will not seek re-election in 2024, on Wednesday appeared to be confused about what action she had taken regarding a two-vote series in the Senate, according to a report.
"Did I vote for that?" Feinstein asked her longtime chief of staff, David Grannis, about a vote to approve a judicial nominee to the federal bench, Business Insider reported.

The whole demonrat party is a disgrace to our country.
Sounds like her staff is voting for her? So why is she in office again? Taking up space?
Essentially...
This woman should have been put out to pasture YEARS AGO. She’s worse than the brain-dead child molester, if such a thing is possible.
Yeah, she probably voted for it, but it’s okay, she probably didn’t read it either.
Letterman is 75, but he stepped down from his show in 2015.
All politicians should have to undergo annual competency exams and be automatically removed if their 3 out of 5 randomly chosen examiners in a blind review.
Well, I think in this one statement, Dianne now has expressed something in common with the people that have voted for her.
Just croak already Feinstein.
There were Rumors 6-8 years ago of a senator taking meds for Dementia. Biden wasn’t still a Senator, then, but I guess it turns out it was Feinstein.
“Who is the third?”
Well Patty Murray is perpetually stupid.
