 Like Justice Ginsburg before her, Sen. Dianne Feinstein spent her final months hounded by a mob even though we all know that a senator can get by on staff work. People seem to have laid off McConnell, as they should, but the treatment Feinstein got is reserved for — surprise! — women. 
 @2d86597c If the competence of Senators doesn't matter, why do we vote? Shouldn't we vote for a chief of staff who will appoint a Senator to do their bidding?
