RIP, but does that mean the judiciary committee can finally get a replacement and fill dozens of vacancies?

Rest in Peace. But I also can't help but feel sad she spent her last few years as a walking corpse barely cognizant because she refused to step out of the way and basically got dragged along as a political tool.

RIP, she did some good things.

She was literally allowed to wield power until her dying day. That's wrong, regardless of the reasons for it and we need a system that prevents that from ever happening again.

Governor Newsom appoints a replacement. Since she was up for re-election next year, this person will serve out the remainder of the term.

isn't the rule that a replacement has to be from the same party, regardless of who the governor is?

Nobody anywhere near her age and condition should be working in our society until the literal day they die. Many not even close to her class status or privilege so it's mindboggling she held onto that position.

Not badmouthing her because that part of her legacy will be forgotten anyway but still it is absurd. RIP

CA wasn't always solidly blue. We used to send people like Nixon and Pete Wilson as Senators. She was part of building the precinct by precinct Democratic movement in the state during the 1990s that still functions and exists to this day.

I admit I held back because I couldn't phrase my frustrations well. She should have stepped down years ago and the fact that she died in office is annoying. In spite of the fact that someone died, I still hate that Senators can hold their position until death.

Speaking of being insensitive to death, I dread Fox News' coverage of this.

Sad she died, though sometimes that's for the best for dementia patients. Anyone who has had a loved one go through this journey may be able to relate.

Glad that she has left office, she was very clearly unable to perform her duties. And frustrated that this was the only way for that to happen.

Discussion groups (abortion/labor/health care for starters), clubs, sacrificial lamb candidates (some may win), then real candidates who can get national support.

Katie Porter did it in a district she had no business being successful in.

This is where her absence really hurts. A mid term replacement on a committee requires a full Senate vote, meaning they need to break a filibuster.

So from now until 1/3/2025, Biden will likely not get any new judicial appointments filled.

There should be no age limit on politicians because we live in a democracy if the people elect a 100 year old person to represent them that is the will of the people. If you don't want a 100 year old running for office don't vote them in it is as simple as that. As long as the people vote them in then let them hold office.

Hmmmmmm, I wonder what the common denominator between these two disasters is???? People need to retire and make way for new generations. It's not a neutral thing or a matter of preference, not doing so has serious, lasting consequences.
