The Democrats' Scheme to Replace Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee, Temporarily, Requires Republicans to Assent to the Scheme.They Should Refuse that Assent.
It is an open secret that Dianne Feinstein is even more mentally incapacitated than Joe Biden. But she hails from a one-party state, and that party has been covering up her dementia for a decade.
She's 89. Just a few years older than Biden. She's now been out of the Senate for six weeks due to shingles, and Democrats are calling for her resignation, as, without her vote on the Judiciary Committee, they can't pass through all of Biden's unqualified leftwing diversity checklist picks. She refused to resign -- or her handlers refused on her behalf, wanting to keep their jobs -- but allowed that she would deign to someone replacing her on the Committee on a temporary basis. But, Christopher Bedford points out, that scheme requires Republicans to cooperate. And they should refuse that cooperation.Republicans have the power, too: Committee assignments are decided at the beginning of the session, either by unanimous consent or, if contested, by the vote of at least 60 senators. Democrats certainly hope they can just brush this through under the former, but what reason does Sen. Josh Hawley, or maybe Sen. Mike Lee, or Sen. J.D. Vance have to let that one pass them by? Then if one senator says no, the whole thing's got to come to a vote, and while people like Sen. Mitt Romney might be happy to fill benches with left-wing judges in the name of "decency" or some other principle long ago extinguished by left-wing activists, getting nine other Republicans to join him might prove more difficult.I'm less and less interested in what the indecent Pierre Delicto thinks constitutes "decency."
The task of persuading 10 Republicans to cooperate with the president's judicial agenda will prove even more difficult if Sen. Mitch McConnell -- himself just out of the hospital (and seven years older than Josef Stalin was when he died) -- holds the line. While populist conservatives may have little love for the minority leader, they must give him credit for hard-nosed judiciary tactics. No one's talking about government funding here, or defense, or some other thing sacred to the old guard of the GOP. At issue is an essentially lawless administration seeding the court with the types of judges who will uphold their lawlessness. Why cooperate in that? Weak-kneed Republicans might suggest not cooperating with the Democrats on this issue would be poor form or set a bad precedent. Those Republicans might need reminding that mild-mannered Brett Kavanaugh was falsely accused of being a serial rapist in front of the entire country. Poor form? Bad precedents? In the context of today's political battles, those ideas hold little sway. And let no man mention "normalcy."

If the GOP was serious about stopping Biden and the Dems instead of joining in on looting the Republic, a sole senator can gum up the works and stop the Senate simply by refusing to consent.
Committee assignments can be changed via the initial agreement but it requires unanimous consent. Failing that, debate and a vote--since it is not subject to the special rules of reconciliation, then it can be filibustered unless the Dems carve out another filibuster exception via appeal to the ruling of the chair motion.
That no GOP senator does indicates they are perfectly fine with the death of the Republic.

Yeah it's the CA GOP, but I think most people still don't realize how jaw-droppingly out of touch and useless most of them are. Talking with a youngish new-and-rising guy who ran for a House seat here after - the one concept that literally never (still) occurs to him when it comes to raising the 30% voter participation rate of GOP-registered voters in CA - give them something to vote for. It's surreal.

What is the "value" of a dollar ? At this point, just mass faith in its meaning.
My point being, other than a very small government - compared to a very large yet still tame mob - trying to use more carrot than stick ? Nothing. There is no intrinsic value to a dollar. Its all just dirty paper.
In some ways, I wonder why this bunch of elites is bothering to care. Just void the currency and go full command economy. Introduce another coinage.

We've spoken with 2 major law firms in Nashville who said they'd send retainer letters to represent us suing FBI and the Nashville PD to obtain the manifesto of the Nashville shooter, only to back out at the last second.
The political pressures are intense. We should see it.

Yes....anything law enforcement has for evidence after the actors are adjudicated or dead needs to be released to the public. The public has a right to know how their tax monies are spent.

In a semi-totalitarian state, one of the few things preventing you from being targeting for destruction is being someone who cannot be disappeared without unrest. Sakharov and other prominent dissidents are examples. In such a state, you either remain silent or become flamboyantly open in your opposition and accept the non lethal punishment that the establishment can offer.

She seems to remember who is attacking her and what
their motives are. She knows she is on the judiciary committee. She seems to know what is required to nominate judges on that committee. Maybe the whisper campaign about her memory is overblown.
The Senate has not been in session for much of that time
She has missed very few actual work days. The big issue is her memory issues? That isn't an issue at all. She knows how to press aye/nay and she has a great staff to assist her with the party's position
Would you say that about Pennsylvania and Fetterman? He's been out longer than Feinstein, but he is being given the opportunity to come back, which is entirely appropriate. Giving Feinstein a similar opportunity to recover also is appropriate.
