'Every senator is a one-in-a-hundred, and even so, it took Feinstein damn near losing her mind for just a handful of fellow elected Democrats finally to call for her resignation.' -TianaTheFirst
Sen. Dianne Feinstein's breathtakingly selfish refusal to step down from her Senate seat may be benefiting Republicans, who get to watch President Joe Biden's judicial confirmations stagnate as they wait for the California Democrat to show up to work. But there's little question that the hubris of Feinstein, who turns 90 next month, sets a precedent that is bad for the republic as a whole.
When one reporter tried to clarify whether Feinstein meant she was"working from home," Feinstein insisted,"No, I've been here."According to Rolling Stone, Feinstein's staffers have, for years now, had an"on-call system" to prevent the senator from ever walking around the Capitol on her own, citing their own concerns about Feinstein's increasing senility.
