Dianne Feinstein (with help from her apologists in Congress) hamstrung Democratic control of the Senate Judiciary Committee at an absolutely critical time in American history, when it needed to operate aggressively & swiftly, including investigations & judicial appointments. American democracy couldn't afford it. Schumer & Durbin should never have put her on Judiciary in Feb 2023. I pray the Democrats actually fight get another Democrat in her place, over whatever the GOP *will* do to block it.
p.s. I'm truly sorry if you don't like criticizing recently dead people for enabling fascist advances. I don't care because this is a petty concern in the face of reality. Therefore, please spare everyone what you may think of as moralizing. I assure you I know the "proper etiquette." My morality does not prioritize the preferences of one person to hold power over the needs of the tens of millions of people they are supposed to have a sacred duty to represent, or the 100,000,000s they harmed.
