 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.
