California Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced that she would step down from the top Democratic spot on the Senate Judiciary Committee next year

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced on Monday that she would step down from the top Democratic spot on the Senate Judiciary Committee next year, following sharp criticism from liberal activists over her handling of the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.

Feinstein, 87, said she would"increase" her"attention" on the wildfire and drought crisis in California and that three issues -- the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and"access to health care" -- are"critical national priorities that require even more concentration."Her statement did not mention Barrett's confirmation to replace the late liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which further cemented the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

There is a God. Her weak a$$ hugging LindseyGrahamIsADisgrace

Yes! This is wonderful news!

She should

most conservative democrat representing the state of CALIFORNIA, she needs to resign as a senator as well

'Going forward, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee must be led by someone who will not wishfully cling to a bygone era of civility and decorum that Republicans abandoned long ago,' said Fallon.' She need to go. She has lost her way. What would Harvey Milk say?

All respect to Sen. Feinstein for her past work, but it was clearly time. We must all, at some point, and no matter how accomplished, have the wisdom to know when to take our bows and leave the stage.

She must have groomed some horrible person to take her place.

Amen. Too late but still.

Why are90% of the people who have over 60 years ahead of them ruled by someone with one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel? let go of all these grandma's and put ones in that are at least the same age bracket? Can't have someone older than dirt, running it?

Good.

Good riddance!

It’s just the right time she steps aside..many many thanks for her selfless service to democracy..

Finally! I mean she’s 90.

Lmao. Canceled. 😂 lmao 😂 😂

NealYork6 Great! Now do Nancy Pelosi. I’m a loyal Democrat but we need new leadership and term limits. Both sides of the aisle. I’m really tired of these long term elected officials getting rich off special interest groups.

Long past due. There is life after politics. How are you going to spend all the money you've accumulated after years of public service? Pretty sure you can't take it with you to the other side. I picked the wrong career path; I have to admit.

All Ladies should see this.

She needs to resign

About time

NealYork6 Overdue, but welcome.

This is not surprising

Good. We should have term limits for Senators.

Great. She was elected too many times for too long.

Good riddance.

One SCOTUS appointment too late.....

About time. She planning on registering as a Republican now ?

“I’m going, I’m going. Stop pushing.”

To the young folks coming up. She deserves our respect. She earned it. All of it. Read her history. Or google it. And remember this. History repeats. You’re up next.
