Republican senators have laid down clear lines for Democrats when it comes to Senator Dianne Feinstein’s continued absence from the Senate. They will only replace her on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and therefore allow Democrats to continue their work confirming judicial nominees, if she resigns from the upper chamber of Congress altogether.
“Whatever the normal process has been in the past, we’d follow in the future,” Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Independent last week.
