Diane Feinstein needs to resign * 1
    #28274997 - 04/12/23 08:20 PM (9 months, 11 days ago)

Apparently she’s essentially a vegetable and her absence from the senate is holding up judicial nominations. I expect she will resign within the next few days. Who will replace her? Will Newsom appoint Adam Schiff or someone else?

The moment that catapulted her into the national spotlight, when she became mayor of San Francisco after the assassination of Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk

Every single politician over the age of 65 should resign and not be allowed to hold office, including Trump and Biden.

I like her, so she should do both. The Republicans are always playing fast and loose with residency requirements, so what are they going to say? Probably bring up some technicality about how it's illegal, but that never stops them. Hobbs could have doubles like Putin so she never misses a vote, and a different middle initial and a scar or mole.

I think there’s an argument to be made about octogenarians not being the thought leaders for society’s future, but everyone ages differently.

theres a certain ammount of wisdom that comes with age.

but a 90 year old who cant get out of bed

an 80 year old that cant keep his story straight

and a 76 year old that cant keep a thought in his head...or his dick in his pants

arent the cream of the fucking crop

Everyone I know, when they went past the age of 65, that's when they started to really go downhill mentally and physically. I've known really smart hardworking people who couldn't mentally work past the age of about 65 even though they wanted to. They were in their prime at 60, right up until about 65, and by 68 they couldn't mentally work anymore.

It's a pretty dramatic downturn between 65 and 70 mentally, you don't realize how dramatic and how fast it is until you see it. There's a reason we have people retire around that age, it's because mentally most people can't physically work beyond the age of 65-70, no joke. If you haven't seen it yet, you will.

the reason you see that is because thats when they retire... and lack of activity and stimulation = degradation its not necisarily the age... but age IS a factor as well, and having someone at 90 be a thought leader instead of just offering wisdom and guidance is probably just as wrong as kicking them out right at 65

That’s because you and the people that actually put the Feinstein and Bidens and Trumps into power have very different ideas of what the job is.

Turns out Dem operatives deliberately withheld information that Dianne Feinstein’s brain is melting faster than previously disclosed.

Who would have guessed?!

Maybe the Pelosi daughter on her staff can secure her endorsement for her successor as Adam Schiff (who Nancy wants) and they can send Dianne to live out her days on the farm.

So what does withhold information mean? I certainly don’t think someone’s aide has an obligation to tell anyone anything about someone’s health. I certainly would fire someone on the spot if they did that kind of betrayal of trust.

Plus, 99% of the problem is that the GOP refuses to replace her on committees if she retires, so a demented occasional vote is better than no vote.

If she retires they can replace her. That can’t as long as she’s still a senator

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the committee chairs, who are now GOPers, said they just wouldn't. Like when they stole the SCOTUS seat and gave us the current right wing tragedy.

Is Governor Newsome's right to replace the Senator set in stone? It sounds like a private squabble and most Democrats could live with either choice. Besides that would Lee vs Schiff have different prospects for important committee assignments?

The reason why I ask is because I thought Obama had an absolute right to get his SCOTUS nominee to a confirmation vote. Nope, and a few years later no more women's reproductive rights at the federal level. Was the first in the constitution and the second not? Just asking.

The US Senate cannot revoke the right of the Governor of California’s constitutional right to appoint a replacement senator.

Would Lee and Schiff have different prospects? Maybe. Schiff is a company man and Lee, despite her flaws, doesn’t play ball 100% of the time, and wasn’t groomed as part of the Pelosi machine.

Whether they’d govern differently in the Senate is probably secondary to the fact that Schiff is Pelosi’s guy and Lee is not. Therefore let’s keep up this weekend at Bernie’s routine and continue fucking up the Dems’ slight Senate majority in order for Nancy Pelosi (also on death’s doorstep) to put her friend into a position of power and negate Newsom’s pledge to appoint a black woman in the interim.

It's not just about replacing the senator in the Senate, it's about replacing the senator on Senate committees.

Yes the governor replaces any open senate seat until the next scheduled election, unlike the house where they have a special election. If Feinstein resigned, newsome would appoint her replacement, then there would be an election in 2024 to fill out her term and then another election in 2026 for the normal six year term

And if Feinstein resigned today, Newsom would appoint Lee, and it would be pretty difficult for Dem leadership to explain to voters why they should replace Lee with a white man (that the GOP already despises).

I mean, that's probably also a factor.

And once again, the left has trouble distinguishing between a villain and a flawed hero.

The US Senate cannot revoke the right of the Governor of California’s constitutional right to appoint a replacement senator.

Would Lee and Schiff have different prospects? Maybe. Schiff is a company man and Lee, despite her flaws, doesn’t play ball 100% of the time, and wasn’t groomed as part of the Pelosi machine.

Whether they’d govern differently in the Senate is probably secondary to the fact that Schiff is Pelosi’s guy and Lee is not. Therefore let’s keep up this weekend at Bernie’s routine and continue fucking up the Dems’ slight Senate majority in order for Nancy Pelosi (also on death’s doorstep) to put her friend into a position of power and negate Newsom’s pledge to appoint a black woman in the interim.




That's the answer I was looking for. A rule in the constitution.

But I'm still confused about McConnel blocking Obama's SCOTUS pick, because I thought that was in the constitution too, Maybe I'm wrong. To me the Democrats seem to sometimes be pussies, and in certain circumstances should be evil bastards like the GOP. This should have been fought tooth and nail.

Maybe W Bush beat Gore, but since it was questionable, they should have contested the issues, within whatever legal recourse might have been available. Not like Trump election denial, but don't just roll over and surrender either. It probably wouldn't have changed anything, but it seemed to set the precedent for Republican aggressiveness and Dem passiveness.

The Democrats don't have that much to approve of, until compared to the other side. But since they are better at least on some major issues, I would like to see them play to win instead of just being more civil in their behavior. In the past there were many civil Republicans too, even some on the right, but that's over. It's a war and the rules have changed, and the Democrats need to win. But most of them will accept a loss too easily. I don't even know if I myself am advocating cheating, but certainly the other side is comfortable with it, particularly rigging state governments to cheat. They have a lot of local government advantages, and are exploiting them to the max.

People like FDR and Richard J Daily were sometimes motherfuckers. It's a lost art in the Democratic Party but flourishing in the GOP. Nancy Pelosi has some of that, which is why she lasted this long, but IMO women in this country still get judged more harshly.

Sorry for being so longwinded. It's my birthday weekend and my friends have been generous.

Yeah, to say she was even close to competent near the end is laughable. It's a shitty way to go out like that.

I dunno. If I managed to amass a 9 figure net worth, I’d want to spend my later years running defense for right wing Supreme Court nominees and condescending to children about climate change.

As I slowly lose the ability to think, speak, or control my bowels, I’ll know it was all worth it.

This did solve a problem for the Democrats.

Now Gavin Newsome has a dilemma, between what he said he would do and replace her with a black female, presumably Brenda Lee. IDK much about her. She's got to be better than Kamala right, and she was the only member of congress to vote against W on Iraq, which took guts, and she has a solid record advocating for women's health issues. But now she's complaining that she would just be a placeholder for a year and a half. That may be true because it sounds like the DNC wants Adam Schiff, hence Newsome's tough decision.

I'm wondering what if Lee did a pretty good job as temporary replacement. Would the DNC try to push her aside next election? Like I said, IDK Lee but maybe she turns into a good asset for the party in the Senate. If not, the DNC will pretend to be neutral and anoint Schiff next time.

Newsome wants to be President at least in 28 and he has to decide this now. Most likely he doesn't go back on his pledge, and let's it sort itself out in 24.

Apparently, since Newsom’s promise to appoint a black woman back in April, he’s said he won’t nominate anyone currently running for the seat, which would include Barbara Lee.

They all want Adam Schiff to have it, so he’ll have it. In the short term he’ll probably appoint some nobody.

Short term appointment of a nobody makes sense cause then no issue when they dump them. Nobody probably gets a pension out of it. Newsome looks better letting Schiff win the next election "on his own".

I didn't realize Feinstein announced she wasn't going to run again, and didn't know when her term ended. Thought she was going to go RBG on us.

I mean, she basically did. Biden can’t even appoint judges now because her corpse was giving the Dems control of Senate Judiciary.

It's worse than I knew.

But at least the Senate is working on that dress code.

I feel that when people grow old, they reach beyond certain levels of intellectual and perception plateaus, that their behaviors and thought process might therefore progress beyond the scope of the young. Some retain memories and capabilities to think and function as their young self, but I feel that if their community is aged, it would be natural for them to have aged officials that can understand their peers better to win a majority. election.
Well, that is perhaps the weak point of unitary politics and majority rules; the minority might never understand the needs of the ruling majority, losing independent process in the process subjecting to the rail guides of the aged, so there are often newfound communities composed of young majorities of which young people can progress according to their own process.

I hate to make fun of both the dead and a first post, but are you the reincarnated ghost of recently deceased Dianne Feinstein as she was leading up to her, uh, "resignation"?
