Feinstein says Senate ‘swiftly’ confirming court nominees in her absence

[signalmankenneth]

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) , needs to fly out to California and tell this fossil to resign/retire?!! I don't think she competent either?!!

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Thursday that the Senate has continued to “swiftly confirm” judicial nominees amid her nearly two-month absence due to shingles.

“The Senate continues to swiftly confirm highly qualified individuals to the federal judiciary, including seven more judicial nominees who were confirmed this week,” Feinstein said in a statement. “There has been no slowdown.”

Feinstein was hospitalized in early March, following her shingles diagnosis. She was released from the hospital several days later but has yet to return to work.

As the 89-year-old senator’s absence has stretched on, several Democrats have called on her to resign, citing Feinstein’s key post on the Senate Judiciary Committee and subsequent delays advancing President Biden’s judicial nominees.

She has mental health problems and age-related physical problems. She should resign. She is almost 90.

Dianne Feinstein Has to Act

This Senate tradition should have been discarded long ago. Senate seats are not lifetime sinecures, and if members can’t effectively represent their constituents or work for the benefit of their country, they should not hesitate to turn the job over to someone who can. Ms. Feinstein owes California a responsible decision.
