You're parroting something you read in an article and you don't even have a clue who the actual people are that are involved, who is willing to vote for them , and just which nomination is so critical that we need to run a sitting Senator out of town.
This is a really badly orchestrated attack and it's like stabbing someone with a blunt object. This is as ugly as it gets because almost every one of her critics can't be bothered to even name ONE person that Feinstein is supposedly holding back.
Such a sham. It's not about judiciary nominees, because they can't vote them in faster than the committee can spit them out. It's really just about running the Senator out of the Senate because, politics.
The phony platform of rumors that critics are standing on is as damaging to the party as anything Feinstein is doing by being ill, but it looks as if you folks want to keep going until you raise so much of a stink that all of the focus is on the Senator, instead of on the issues and legislation you all say concerns you so.
The worst is taking the word of rumormongering neews articles instead of trusting in Sen. Feinstein. Clearly you're more aligned with a handful of gossipy reports than with our Democratic Senator, but you're presenting this as some kind of virtue. It's just tawdry and anti-Democrat.
I don't expect reporters to have enough interest to support Democrats, but I really don't understand any Democrat following their lead over Sen. Feinstein's word in this attempt to take her down.
