But you’re right, there’s at least calls from the Dems to kick her out, so there is a decent difference between the two parties. I just wish the leadership felt the same way.
Leadership wants her out, and she finally accepted the option of letting another Democratic senator temporarily fill her position on the Judiciary Committee while she was unable to attend for many, many weeks in the most recent episode - but Republicans refused.
At that point, Democratic leadership can decide that they want her out so badly that they’ll simply hand Republicans a win. Or they can try to get her back in her seat with her hand on the button, so that Democrats can get at least a few wins in the Judiciary Committee.
I want Feinstein out, but I still think Democratic leadership made the correct decision.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say the lady who tried to give a speech during a roll call vote, ceded power of attorney to her daughter and has to heavily rely on her staff to function is more mentally cognizant than the turtle by any stretch. He’s struggling, but she’s on another level.
