What is Going on With Senator Diane Feinstein?
If she can’t do her job, then she needs to retire.
Where in the world is California Senator Diane Feinstein?
We haven’t seen much of her lately, have we? She’s sort of disappeared, is apparently sick, and it’s gotten to the point where she is now officially stepping down from her Senate Judiciary Committee position.
Sahil Kapur with NBC News writes:
“Alarm bells are ringing among prominent Democrats about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s lengthy absence from the Senate and the roadblock it presents to confirming judges.
The 89-year-old California Democrat hasn’t cast a vote in the Senate since Feb. 16, announcing during her absence that she was hospitalized and recovering from shingles. The chamber returns to session next week after a two-week recess, but Feinstein has not provided a timetable for returning to Washington.
“I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel,” she said in a statement Wednesday evening…”
Having seen multiple people in my family having to deal with shingles and how debilitating it is, I do feel bad for her especially at her age. It’s painful, and I’m sure incredibly frustrating to deal with.
