#DianneFeinstein puts out new statement saying there has been "no slowdown" on judicial noms in her absence. there is no firm date in the statement for her return.
@GottaLaff The statement contradicts itself. The last paragraph shows that nominees are being blocked from moving forward, and it is because of her absence.
@not2b She's not exactly lucid, although her staff should know better.
@GottaLaff Perhaps the staff wrote it? I wonder if they are worried about losing their jobs if she resigns?
@not2b That's what I just said to you, lol. "...although her staff should know better."
Nah, they wouldn't write something just to avoid losing their jobs.
@GottaLaff
Power is a helluva drug.
@GottaLaff This has sad shades of late-era Reagan.
@GottaLaff Wow, her dementia is really getting worse.
@statmonkey Well, dementia never gets better, so...
@GottaLaff No slowdown in nominations? How about confirmations?
@GottaLaff
It's phucking Ginsburg 2.0
@echuta Ginsburg was lucid
@GottaLaff
She sure was. Right up until she died at the age of 87. And was replaced by a 48 year old radical who will now serve for 40 years on the bench.
@echuta I don’t need reminding.
