14. My respect for her

Wed Apr 12, 2023, 08:24 PM

Apr 2023

was used up decades ago, when I sent her a letter politely asking her to join a filibuster and got back a response that can be summed up as "Back off, Sonny! I'm a Senator. I know more that you do."

In a perfect world, she should retire with dignity at this point. Since there are several excellent candidates waiting to take over her seat, Governor Newsom should appoint a placeholder to finish her term, which ends next year. If I had the choice, I would ask Barbara Boxer to come out of retirement for the next twenty months. I always thought between Boxer and Feinstein, the wrong one retired.
