Sen. Dianne Feinstein was welcomed back to the chamber’s Judiciary Committee with applause a day after she returned to Capitol Hill while “still experiencing some side effects” from shingles.…
Feinstein’s chair was empty for a little more than an hour following the start of a committee meeting to consider nominations for federal judgeships as well as four Senate bills.
“We have a number of items on today’s agenda, including seven judicial nominees who have previously been held over. I intend to call them shortly and if Sen. Feinstein arrives, we may be able to take up those additional nominees very quickly,” Durbin added. Feinstein has been absent from the Senate for more than two months, scrambling Democrats’ efforts to confirm President Biden’s nominees to the federal bench. Her comeback restores the full Democratic complement of 51 senators after Sen. John Fetterman returned to Capitol Hill in mid-April following treatment for depression.
Some House Democrats also called on Feinstein to resign, months after reports indicated that her cognitive abilities were in decline.that a Senate aide once saw Feinstein confuse Sen. Tim Scott with Sen. Raphael Warnock , both of whom are black.
