Dianne Feinstein digs in

55. I am appalled by her selfishness

We don't have time to waste here. There is a good chance that we will lose control of the senate in 2024. The person in the CA senate seat needs to be AT WORK voting in Biden judges as fast as they can NOW so that we can get as many as possible confirmed, just like when republicans controlled the WH for four years, they pushed as many of their nominees through as they could. And now look where we are.

It is incredibly selfish of her to try to hang on to this if she can't come back NOW. I'm sorry, but she needs to consider that it isn't all about her, it is about the 330 million people who are depending on her vote, women and children who are losing their rights because of judges' decisions, LBGT people who are losing their rights because of judges decisions, disabled people, POC. Biden appointed judges have the power to make a positive impact and we need every one of them that we can get. Having Feinstein selfishly hold up the process is detrimental.

We may very well lose the senate in 2024. We may not retain control of the WH in 2024. We will fight hard to make sure we do, but for the next 1.5 years while we have control, our focus MUST BE on pushing those confirmations through. We can't get distracted by stupid remarks about ageism and sexism. That's not what this is about. This is about a 90 year old woman not coming to work and not being able to do the job and Biden judges needing to get confirmed.

If she isn't replaced, those Biden judges won't be confirmed. Do we want those positions to be Trump or DeSantis judges instead so that we can say "oh how lovely, we let Feinstein carry out her term sitting at home never coming back in to work, but we weren't sexist or ageist!" I just can't even with some of the people here...
