Sen. Feinstein Asks to Be 'Temporarily' Replaced on Judiciary Committee; One Democrat Says, 'Resign'
(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), age 89 and ailing, says her anticipated return to Washington has been delayed by "continued complications" related to her bout with shingles.
In a press release on Wednesday, she said she "intends" to return to Washington eventually, but in the meantime, because her absence from the Judiciary Committee is delaying the confirmation of liberal judges, she has asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to "allow another Democratic senators to temporarily serve until I'm able to resume my committee work."
Feinstein said she remains "committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco."
But even some fellow Democrats say it's time for Feinstein to resign.
"I have an enormous amount of respect for Senator Dianne Feinstein," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told CNN on Thursday:
"She has had an extraordinary career in public service. She's been an icon on issues of gun violence and women's rights, but it has become painfully obvious to many of us in California that she is no longer able to fulfill her duties, as she doesn't have a clear return date.
"We haven't been able to confirm judges at a time where women's rights and voting rights are under assault. Senator Durbin himself, as the chair of Judiciary, has said that the reason we're not being able to move these judges is because Senator Feinstein isn't there.
"And so as someone from California I felt an obligation to say what's so many colleagues are saying in private -- that the time has come for her to gracefully step down and have a dignified end to a very distinguished political career."
Khanna said temporarily replacing Feinstein on the Democrat-led Judiciary Committee is "not that simple."
"Any single senator, Republican senator, can object to that," he said.
"Senator Schumer has done the right thing. He said he's going to try to get that done in the Senate. But we have to see if that's even possible.
"And I guess my question is, why not just take the step and resign instead of going through all of these motions...The most urgent issue is that we can get our judges confirmed."
BOXER NEVER GOT A SINGLE BILL THROUGH THE SENATE DESPITE HAVING BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AND YEARS. PRETTY MUCH BOXER'S TASK WAS TO VOTE FOR ANYTHING THAT FEINSTEIN WAS PUSHING THAT MIGHT PUT MONEY HER HER PIMP HUSBAND RICHARD BLUM'S POCKETS.
BOXER GOT FILTHY RICH OFF OF ELECTED OFFICE, LIKE SO MANY DEM POLS INCLUDUNG FEINSTEIN, KAMALA HARRIS MAXINE WATERS, PELOSI AND OF COURSE THE INFAMOUS PARASITE LAWYERS CLINTONS, OBAMAS, AND BIDENS!
Boxer: Judge Who Blocked Abortion Drug Is an ‘Angry, Cruel Man’ — ‘Danger to Women’
Former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who halted the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, was an “angry, cruel man.”
Boxer said, “I want to point out that this judge, who did this, this angry, cruel man, that’s what I think, toward women. I mean, he is a danger to women. He didn’t get one democratic vote. It says to me the one thing I hope comes out of this, besides Senator Feinstein taking a hard look at the situation as it really is, is that people understand and connect the dots between their daily lives, getting a drug they need, women are going to have abortions. I was there before Roe women died, and still, they did self-inflicted abortions.”
She added, “So here’s the thing, one judge can wreak havoc. And connecting the dots between who sits in the Senate, okay, who is president, and who sits in the judiciary, we have to connect the dots for people. People say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to vote. They’re all alike, the Democrats, Republicans, they’re this, they’re that.’ You know what? No two people are alike. And when it comes to the judiciary, we’re losing our rights every single minute. When this is at the Supremes, God help us. But I’m helpful because Big Pharma hates this decision. I’m hopeful some of them have taken some of the Supremes on trips.”

JOE BIDEN = POS - HE'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING DIFFERENT!
Biden Cites God in Predicting Defeat of Pro-Lifers: ‘We’re Going to See What Happens All Over America, God Willing’ (MORE BELOW).
PIG BIDEN IS NOW USING GAMER LAWYER MERRICK GARLAND AND THE FBI TO GO AFTER CATHOLIC PRO-LIFERS. IT'S PART OF THE BIDEN REGIME'S EXPANDING POLICE STATE.
Biden is the most amoral President in US history
The President pretends to be Catholic but clearly does not live by Catholic tenets. He supports abortion up until the moment of birth. This past week, he sent a cease-and-desist letter to the priests who have been ministering to Catholic patients at Walter Reed Hospital. He intends to contract outside persons to provide Catholic ministry. While VP, he supported the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor for refusing to provide abortion services to their employees. In short, he is about as Catholic and Christian as Nancy Pelosi, another faux Catholic, a classic elitist who has nothing but contempt for actual Catholics, actual Christians.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Signs 6-Week Heartbeat Abortion Ban into Law
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill into law late Thursday evening banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, which is around the time when a baby’s heartbeat can first be detected.
“We are proud to support life and family in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said in a statement. “I applaud the Legislature for passing the Heartbeat Protection Act that expands pro-life protections and provides additional resources for young mothers and families.”
The law, also called Senate Bill 300 (House Bill 7), changes the state’s abortion law from 15 weeks to six weeks. The bill includes exceptions for rape, incest, human trafficking up to 15 weeks of pregnancy, preserving the life of the mother, or a fatal fetal abnormality in a pregnancy that has not entered the third trimester.
The legislation also requires abortions to be performed in person by a medical doctor or osteopathic physician, meaning medication abortion must be dispensed in person and not by mail.
The bill additionally includes $25 million to expand services provided by state-contracted crisis pregnancy centers. Some of these services include pregnancy testing and counseling as well as material assistance like clothing, car seats, cribs, formula, and diapers.
“In addition to legislating pro-family policies, this year’s Framework for Freedom Budget includes permanent sales tax exemptions for baby and toddler necessities, including cribs and strollers, as well as tax holidays on children’s books, toys, athletic equipment, and pet food,” DeSantis’ office said in a press release via email.
“It includes more than $96 million to support foster parents, caregivers, and children. It also includes nearly $143 million to enhance services for pregnant and postpartum women and children, which will improve maternal health outcomes for women at high risk for maternal morbidity.”
“While other states like California and New York have legalized infanticide up until birth, Governor DeSantis has enacted historic measures to defend the dignity of human life and transform Florida into a pro-family state,” his office continued.
The six-week ban will be on hold pending a ruling from the Florida Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the existing 15-week abortion law. DeSantis signed the 15-week ban into law after the state’s 2022 legislative session, and the law was swiftly challenged by pro-abortion groups and abortionists. However, parts of SB 300 will go into effect immediately, including the funding for pregnancy resource centers, a family planning program, and other parenting-related services.
DeSantis signed the bill the same day the Florida House passed the legislation 70-40 after seven hours of debate.
State Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka (R-Fort Myers), one of the bill’s sponsors, celebrated its passage, calling it a “historic moment.”
“Thank you, Governor, for signing the Heartbeat Protection Act! Proud to be part of this historic moment as Florida continues to stand for life and support our mothers and families!” Persons-Mulicka tweeted Friday morning.
The signing of a six-week abortion ban comes after Florida became an abortion destination state for surrounding southern states with stricter laws following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. As Breitbart News previously reported, 6,708 abortions were performed on out-of-state patients in 2022, up from 4,873 in 2021 and 3,988 in 2020, according to state data.
The overall number of abortions has also grown as the state continues to grow in population. In 2022, there were 82,192 total abortions, 75,118 of which were in the first trimester and 7,074 in the second trimester, according to the AHCA. In 2021, there were 79,817 total abortions, 74,967 of which were in the first trimester and 4,850 in the second trimester. The year 2020 saw 74,868 total abortions, with 70,594 in the first trimester and 4,274 in the second trimester.
“Florida will no longer be the fifth highest abortion state in the nation thanks to the Heartbeat Protection Act,” Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins noted. “Thank you @GovRonDeSantis for having the courage to do the right thing. You are setting the standard for GOP and they should follow your lead.”
Planned Parenthood of Florida slammed DeSantis for signing legislation protecting the lives of unborn babies and called him a “coward.” The abortion giant affiliate also accused the female state lawmakers involved of serving “white men” and the “white patriarchy.”
However, former abortionist Dr. Kathi Aultman, who has since become pro-life, issued a statement via email celebrating the move.
“After performing hundreds of abortions, I know without hesitation that abortion after six weeks stops a beating heart. The cardiovascular system is the first organ system to function, and at this stage of development, the heart beats around 110 beats per minute. Research has shown that if a heartbeat is detected, a baby has more than a 90% chance of surviving to birth,” Aultman said.
“I wish this kind of protection had been in place when I chose to have my abortion. It would have saved my child and saved me a lifetime of regret,” she continued.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser also released a statement via email, calling the bill’s signing an “enormous victory in the battle for human rights.”
“No longer will Florida account for 10 percent of abortions in the nation or be known as an abortion destination. More moms who need financial and emotional support will get the help they need during pregnancy and after their child is born,” Dannenfelser said. “Most of all, tens of thousands of precious boys and girls will live and have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, bless the lives of others, and enhance Florida’s communities.”
“Gov. DeSantis has always been a bold pro-life voice, never flinching in the face of extremist opposition in order to stand proudly in defending Floridians,” she continued. “That’s why he, Florida’s Republican legislators and Attorney General Moody saw such overwhelming victories in the mid-term elections last year, and why the state of Florida is a shining example to others in the Dobbs era.”
THE DERAILMENT DEBACLE AT EAST PALESTINE OHIO IS JOE BIDEN'S

How does one explain, then, his total and complete lack of interest in the train derailment that subjected the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, to the consequences of a de facto burn pit?

There are years of evidence, including from Biden’s own daughter’s diary, that Biden is a pedophile or at least has pedophilic tendencies. He cannot keep his hands off young female children; he fondles and sniffs them. Tara Reade’s account of his molestation of her years ago is credible. The man is pond scum.
Whenever he speaks of his deceased son Beau, who died of a brain tumor, he blames his death on the burn pits of Iraq where Beau served 2008 - 2009. That could be true. The military had long used burn pits to dispose of all manner of waste, much of it obviously toxic. How does one explain, then, his total and complete lack of interest in the train derailment that subjected the citizens of East Palestine, Ohio, to the consequences of a de facto burn pit? He did not visit. He barely mentioned it. He did not send the hapless Buttigieg or his EPA head, Michael Regan, until shamed into it. Neither of them acquitted themselves well. Both of them made it clear they did not want to be there, nor did they have any sympathy for the victims who are very likely to suffer for decades as Beau Biden did.
Biden’s open border is a human catastrophe of horrific proportions. The day he was inaugurated, he opened our southern border to all comers, encouraging migrants from all over the world to sacrifice everything to make their way to the US. Thousands of them die on the journey. The women and children are raped and trafficked.
Meanwhile, the cartels have become richer than Bill Gates. The cartels control both sides of the border with Biden’s acquiescence. Thousands of migrants are being bussed or flown into cities throughout America every day. It's a massive operation to alter the demographics of the US. It’s part of the globalist plan.
The sadly mentally incapacitated Biden is a tool of the worst people on the planet: the Communist Party of China and the Machiavellian scoundrels of the WEF. He has led us into WWIII; it has begun, which must be clear to every American paying attention. Biden’s weakness has reverberated throughout the world. His thwarting of our energy independence, his absurd implementation of all the covid restrictions that submarined the US economy and his vaccine mandates that have killed thousands will be his legacy.
This President’s obsession with LGBT issues, especially the transgenderism of children, proves his evil intent beyond all other issues. Neither he nor Kamala Harris could be bothered to visit or even speak to the grief of the families of the victims of the Nashville murder of six people, three of them children. Instead, they used the tragic event to boost support for transgendered persons, all of whom suffer from mental illness in one form or another. Numerous school shootings have been committed by trans kids who suffer from gender dysphoria and almost always on drugs, legal and/or illegal. Both Harris and the White House spoke of their pride and support of the “trans community” and the “Tennessee Three,” who mounted a nearly violent insurrection in their State House to ignominiously screech for gun control, as if taking guns away from good people would prevent such mass attacks. They nearly always occur in gun-free zones. These idiotic activists know this and do not care. They seem to be determined that only criminals have guns, as they most assuredly will if in a gun-free zone.
Joe Biden has been corrupt for all his years in Congress. What is so maddening is that everyone in Congress, in the DC world of politics, have always known this. They’ve all known he was rather dim, a racist (Strom Thurmond was his mentor), a plagiarist, and a consummate and compulsive liar. The list of his oft repeated, provable lies is too long to list but he was at it again while in Ireland this week; he has never “traveled 17k miles with Xi.” Clearly he can’t help himself; he has a serious pathological problem.
Biden is a dim bulb and the people who engineered his installation as president surely knew that. Whoever his handlers are, they committed many serious crimes, many breaches of the Constitution, to rig the election, secure in the knowledge that “they,” whoever they are, would be running the show. They surely knew that Biden is a schlump, an empty suit, a man without a moral core; a man they could manipulate and manipulate him they certainly have.
There is more than enough proof that Biden is indebted to China; his family has been fabulously enriched by the CCP’s purchase of his servility. He is indebted to Ukraine as well but is repaying their generosity by using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in his misguided proxy war against Putin.
Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most nationally and globally disastrous and the dumbest President in American history. If we are to prevail as a constitutional republic, the American people better wake-up and fight for everything they cherish – family, freedom and basic human and civil rights – or it will be gone in the blink of an eye. It began with Obama and that crowd is determined to carry out their plan to transform America. They’ve been remarkably successful to the detriment of us all.
