Feinstein's Prolonged Absence From Senate Holding Up Biden Judicial Confirmations
Cristina Laila

Dianne Feinstein’s absence from the Senate is holding up Joe Biden’s judicial confirmations.

Feinstein, 89, has been MIA since she was hospitalized for shingles last month.

The California senator’s absence from the Senate Judiciary Committee has the panel deadlocked at 10-10.

It is unclear when Feinstein will return Washington.

“I can’t consider nominees in these circumstances, because a tie vote is a losing vote in committee,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin told CNN. “We still have some nominees left on the calendar that we can work on. … But we have more in the wings that we would like to process through the committee.”

Feinstein has missed 60 votes out of the 82 taken this year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Her next visit could be "lying in state".  But she'll still get an in-person vote in.

Bring her drool jar to vote.   It'd be more coherent.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
