In this episode, Andy provides a brief history of Senator Dianne Feinstein, and talks about her recent complications with shingles.Senator Feinstein‘s health complications are also complications for the Senate, as well as democracy. Feinstein has missed around 60 votes in the Senate due to her absence and Biden’s judicial nominees are not being processed. Naturally, none of the Republicans in the Senate are willing to vote with Democrats to make anything happen that might be good for the country or the American people.Andy also discusses options that have been mentioned, including expulsion of Senator Feinstein from the Senate and temporarily replacing her on her committee, so that some Senate business can continue until she is ready to come back to work. Investigation has shown that none of those options are actually viable. The one option that is viable? Resignation. That’s it—and as of the time of this recording, that does not appear to be an option with Senator Feinstein.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/federal-andy/message
