As RedState previously reported, a number of prominent Senate Republicans including some of the more moderate ones like Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) indicated in no uncertain terms that they would not support any proposal on the Democratic side to put a temporary replacement on the Senate Judiciary Committee while Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) continues her longer-than-expected recovery from the shingles virus.
In an update to this story, we’re happy to let readers know that the Senate GOP, led – surprisingly enough – by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), indeed followed through with their promise to block Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who put forth a resolution earlier calling on his Senate colleagues to allow another Senator – Maryland’s Ben Cardin – to temporarily sit in Feinstein’s place on the committee:

Its one of those opportunistic diseases that only gets the guts to attack you when your normal immune system is already under stress.
So you know, its kinda like a liberal disease.
Good for the GOP Senate for not folding on this issue.This is all so transparent and childish as usual.
It's all about deal making.
The Senate GOPe will, as always, give Schumer what he wants when Schumer gives what the Senate GOPe want. They'll all walk away pretending they're such brilliant negotiators and once again some idiots will agree.
Meanwhile, the master of deal making is waiting in the wings laughing at the lightweight's childish games.
“So you know, its kinda like a liberal disease.”
I’m rooting for shingles to win over this witch.
Mitch the bitch is gonna switch.
You and a whole bunch of other people.
Won’t take her out. Its just painful. Something ELSE might sneak in and get her though.
For now.
They haven’t got a promise to do something they won’t from the Democrats yet
Is upChuck having a sad?
“LOL. Collins and Murkowski “moderate”. That’s pretty funny. “
But they are moderate. Moderate Democrats.
The Feinstein Plan? “Vote like your future Depends on it.”
Is that a backbone?
Is Chuck “Pagliacci” Schumer gonna be the crying clown again?
Acting in their own self interest is more like it, probably.
Feinstein’s shingles will clear up at some point. Her dementia will not.
She belongs at home with a caretaker not in the Senate pretending to be the one casting her votes.
Even more likely, some of them will talk this way now, then get their quid pro quo to turn coat.
Lying headline. Schumer never had a heart. The snake venom in his body circulates by means of a computer device similar to a pacemaker.🖤🐍
More like the turd in the punch bowl
Of course, McConnell may just designate a committee GOP member to pretend they are Feinstein and vote on her behalf. I’m sure Graham will be happy to play her part in the spirit of bipartisanship and in honor of her long years of “public service”.
[spit!]
YEAH; but it was funny as all gitout!
Years and years ago my secretary got shingles, she told me it was EXTREMELY PAINFUL.
She was off sick almost 3 months.
So glad Dianne SWINESTEIN is experiencing just a little bit of what she has done to California and the Nation at large!
In general shingles are painful. However, depending where it manifests on the body, it can be even MORE painful.
