[QUOTE]Clinton stressed the political reality that if Feinstein resigned, Republicans likely wouldn’t allow a Democratic replacement to join the Senate Judiciary Committee, effectively preventing Dems from confirming judicial appointments.
I love that photo of Hillary, it really captures her essence

I agree with her on this. The Dems are looking at a horrible 2024 Senate map, no way in hell can they afford to lose one seat and bring the judicial appointments to a halt. Biden is already lagging behind Trump's first-term judicial appointment record.

Her losing the 2016 election will always be one of my biggest disappointments. I’m talking profound, gut wrenching disappointment. 😔

They want to put Adam Schiff in the Senate. If Feinstein resigns, Newsom (Gov. of California has promised to appoint a woman of color to the Senate. (Because he raised hackles when he appointed Alex Padilla to Kamala's seat.) They - Clinton, Pelosi, among others - would rather see Feinstein continue as a walking corpse and fill out her term so Schiff can run for the seat.

Can we sue in order to overcome these obstructions? Or would that violate the separation of powers clause?

Sam Seder has decoded this as a conspiracy against progressives.

Pretty clear what is happening around Diane Feinstein’s non- retirement and its rare to see political machinations so nakedly disgusting. The lengths Pelosi will go to to prevent a progressive becoming even a temporary Senator is genuinely twisted.

On this, Hillary is not wrong, so of course we're going to bash her for Republican intransigence.

She's useless if she isn't able to cast her vote. She needs to resign.

She is casting votes, r10. That’s why Hillary says keep her.

These people prop each other up. It's so undemocratic.
