I’ve been trying to find out what happens to the Judiciary Committee if Dianne Feinstein resigns. If Time is correct, it means no more judges confirmed in the Senate because the Republicans could block adding any Democrat to replace her.

These are not normal times.

I’m talking about the Judiciary Committee, not the full Senate. Because she was appointed at the beginning of the session, her committee replacement needs 60 votes, according to Time. The Republicans could stop an appointment and then we don’t get judges.

Thank you.

So basically, more stupid, arcane Senate rules designed to make the institution barely-functional?

Yep. I don’t know if Dianne has a legal custodian but she needs one.
