Not so fast. Californians elected Feinstein to serve six years. The voters’ mandate — not the rumor mill — should determine the length of her service. In addition, despite accusations that Feinstein is missing a step, she has continued to deliver for California and the nation., crucial legislation that passed with 10 Republican votes in a bitterly divided Senate.
In the latest government funding bill, Feinstein’s office says she secured more money for her state than almost any other senator. She won funds for important California priorities like wildfire prevention and drought response, bringing home the bacon for her constituents as she has always done., who was dying of cancer. Despite her age and the impending death of her husband of more than 40 years, she made sure not to miss any of the important votes in the Senate.
If that’s the kind of work product we get from a supposedly age-impaired senator, we’ll take it. On her worst day, she towers over most of the do-nothings in Congress. Even if she were dead, Feinstein would still provide more competent, moral and sane leadership than most of the Republicans on Capitol Hill these days.
Feinstein is one of the most effective senators in California history. From the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban to the investigation into the CIA’s torture program, she has provided national leadership on some of the most difficult issues in modern American history. She has also worked tirelessly to preserve California’s natural treasures, such as Lake Tahoe and the Mojave desert, passing landmark legislative protections.
“Like a lot of people who reach a certain age, Feinstein has good and bad days,” wrote the Los Angeles Times’, a longtime Feinstein watcher. “She relies heavily on her staff, though the same can be said about many members of Congress.”
Feinstein has little left to add now to the political discourse and not enough respect for the senate seat to pass it on to the next generation.
That's... not relevant to anything
I’m a Democrat but having all our local media cheerleaders for one party isnt good…
This is NOT the point! Her seat ain’t going red.
