TL;DR Summary

Dianne Feinstein's request for a temporary replacement on the Judiciary Committee due to her absence from the Capitol recovering from shingles requires passing a resolution on the Senate floor, which Republicans have the power to block. Her absence has hobbled Democrats' ability to confirm President Joe Biden's judicial picks. Some House Democrats are calling on Feinstein to resign, while others are urging the party to give her space to end her long career on her terms. Regardless of whether she's replaced on the Judiciary panel, her absence from the floor leaves Democrats in a tough spot with a 51-49 majority.
