Republicans have already made it clear that they won't agree to seat Feinstein's replacement on the judiciary committee. She can resign and be replaced by another Democrat in the Senate at large, but we will get absolutely zero new federal judges.
So no change in the committee, then? She's missed more votes than she's cast the last couple years..
She's missed a lot but a huge number of judges have been confirmed, including a lot in the appeals courts. I'd rather have her available 25% of the time rather than a total stop. Of course I'd rather she be able to leave in a dignified retirement but that requires good faith actions by the GOP, so it's just not an option.
