Schumer said Tuesday he spoke to her on Friday and is “very hopeful that she will return very soon,” without getting specific., citing the stalling of prospective judges as a result of her absence, doubled down on his push Tuesday.
"Senator Feinstein’s staff rushed out her statement two hours after my tweet to stop the bleeding and halt the growing chorus for her to resign. It worked for a few days but didn’t solve the problem as many of us had warned," Khanna told NBC News."The ball is now back in Senator Feinstein’s court to provide a specific timeline of when she can cast votes on Judiciary to confirm President Biden’s judges.
"Every day she is not on Judiciary is hurting our ability to confirm another judge who will protect women’s rights and voting rights. I hope more will choose democracy over decorum and speak out about what is painfully obvious," he said."It’s time for Sen. Feinstein to step aside to have a dignified conclusion to her public service career."Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said Tuesday that it’s “up to Sen. Feinstein to decide her own timeline.
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., added: “In America, we don’t tell people to resign because they got shingles.”
SenFeinstein should resign or are we not learning from RBG’s mistake?
Why did Democrats put this infirm woman, (mentally and physically), on the judiciary? Why should Republicans help Schumer get Biden's most radical nominees through that committee? Elections, it would appear, have consequences, even in the Senate.
HEY BARBARA THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDS 🚨🚨
Just replace anole with Kylie
A United States senator who is a democrat is too incapacitated to do her job, but that’s some how republicans’ fault?
Good that means they can't put under qualified activist judges on the bench to infringe more on our civil rights!
tell it like it is Feinstein was asked to resign by Democrats saying she is not mentally fit because of her age 80 how her age affect her ability to serve and Biden is same age.
Get back to work Feinstein!
She should just collect her pension and retire
She should have retired 20 years ago. They can’t push away from the corruption trough that makes them millions.
Because republicans don’t want a functioning government and see everything through a political lens.
Why would the GOP make it easy for the DNC to push through Biden’s liberal judges? This is what I want them to do.
Hahaha suck it Dems…😂😂
It’s sad that she’s spent her entire life in public service only to be ousted by one’s own party.
Bahahah!! she’s single-handedly saving our country from freak leftist federal judges being appointed! Thank you Mrs Feinstein! God bless 😘
Maybe, She will come to terms with it and resign on her own terms. It’s hard.
Being 89 is not an illness.
Remember this next time they ask you to show some decency.
Good
She ought to resign. Ruth Bader made a silly miscalculation that arguably has led to the overturning of roeVwade
Resign now SenFeinstein
The humanity of the GOP strikes again. I don’t want to hear any of their religious values crap. They are total hypocrites.
Elections have consequences lol
Hereditary right
Can't believe re-electing someone with dementia would have consequences
