       1/2 🧵Sahil Kapur:#Feinstein's plan to temp swap herself out w another Dem on Judiciary Comm isn't going well. GOP making clear they'll block. Schumer needs unanim consent from Sen to do it smoothly. All it takes is 1 Sen. to object.Mark Joseph Stern:Feinstein's refusal to retire is currently wrecking Biden's entire judicial agenda..erasing advantage Sen Dems gained in '22...grinding confirm/s to halt..giving GOP senators even more leverage over noms. Damage here is just astounding.

       2/2 Elie Mystal:The question is now simply "Should one person's desire to hang onto power until a time of their own choosing disrupt the entire judicial confirmations process?"It's no longer about respect or fairness or "but what about..." It's just "Do we get to function, yes/no?" #Feinstein #Senate #Judges

       @GottaLaff Isn't there anyone around her with a sound mind to convince her to retire. Anybody? It's crazy that there is no one that can knock some sense into her and do the right thing.

       @GottaLaff I find it odd that her family wouldn’t convince her. What could be the reason she won’t step down? Money?

       @DaniEhm I doubt that strongly. As I recall, she was doing fine financially. I think it's pride.

       @GottaLaff Seriously. Pride at age 89 almost 90. I can't wrap my head around that. Hopefully she will do the right thing soon. I'm not holding my breath though.

       @DaniEhm @GottaLaff Feinstein's husband, who died last year, was very wealthy.  He made a fortune in financial services, and was estimated to be worth $1 billion.I agree that her failure to resign is probably due to pride combined with stubbornness sometimes seen in the very aged.Hoping someone will get through to her, but not feeling hopeful.

       @Barbramon1 @DaniEhm @GottaLaff Hopefully she will solve the problem for everybody by dying. 👍
