Opinion: John Phillips: The only cognitive test that matters is the one on Election Day
California’s senior United States Senator Dianne Feinstein, who was recently released from a San Francisco hospital after being diagnosed with a rough case of shingles, has announced that she will not be seeking another six-year term in Congress’ upper chamber.
Recently, Feinstein’s longtime friend and colleague, former U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, even confirmed that Feinstein’s short-term memory is gone. Proving once again that — to paraphrase Oscar Wilde — in Washington, a friend is someone who stabs you in the front. Yeesh. It looks like you can add Boxer to the list of people who threw an old Senate buddy under the electric-no-emissions bus.In announcing her run for president, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has even called for politicians over the age of 75 to take “mandatory mental competency tests.”
In response, First Lady Jill Biden called the idea of mental competency tests administered to politicians “ridiculous” during an interview with CNN.
