RapidcreekDianne Feinstein dies at 90
Imagine if she had mentored and sponsored a younger replacement in 2000 and then retired in 2010. Where would we be?
Now that Skeletor has died with no one obvious to replace her, the Judiciary Committee will probably grind to a halt when it comes to confirming judges.
She was a public servant that worked for a long time on your behalf.
California’s governor will name a replacement for the remainder of her term.
Democrats no longer have a clear majority in the Senate. This has all sorts of complications. I believe it will still take 60 votes to replace her in Judiciary which Republicans won’t give them. Probably the main reason she stuck around to begin with. Biden has to be careful with his nominees if he can get through any at all. Gawd help us if a SCOTUS member dies. The call for Menendez to step down will quiet a bit.

She worked a long time and was obviously better than the GOP, but staying on for so long was at best a lack of vision and at worse an egotistical decision that will bite us in the ass. All these geriatric ass politicians who don’t mentor, grow the bench with the next generation, and retire when it is time to are leading us to the situation. This is going to end up being RBG all over again.
She was a piece of shit freedom hater, one of the worst Senators ever. Good riddance to that old bag.
I honestly don’t know a lot about her so I don’t know what you’re referring to. I assume gun rights?
That plus carte blanche approval of all forms of warrantless mass surveillance, violations of our 4th Amendment rights, being a pro-corporate oligarchy puppet etc
I mean this isn’t wrong. She was one of the votes against the proposal of members of congress being banned from owning stocks.
No wonder, she consistently outperformed the best traders on wall street. I wonder how she managed that?
