In reply to the discussion: Dear Senator Dianne Feinstein: This is not about you. [View all]Ms. Toad
(34,126 posts)Is that Newsweek has indicated that there were votes on 25 judicial nomimees in Feinstein's absence, and that the Axios article indicated that 1 nominee has been voted out of committee during the time she has been absent, and that if those reports are accurate votes on 24 nominees failed.
Those are the only two sources I found which detailed the nature of the votes and how many nominees had been voted out of committee during her absence. The remainder of the sources just cited the number of votes she has missed - which is irrelevant unless the outcome of those missed votes would have been different in her presence.
If you want to add Feinstein as an issue to floor votes, that makes her absence a double challenge (while the other senators only pose a problem when it comes to the floor votes).
