Feinstein Replacement Debate Sparks Political Turmoil in Senate.
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans have opposed the Democratic push to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the Senate Judiciary Committee, leaving the panel deadlocked 10-10 and unable to pass partisan nominees along for floor votes. Feinstein, who has been absent since late February due to a case of shingles, has asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to replace her on the panel, which requires a vote of the full chamber. Democrats would need 60 votes to break a filibuster and make the change.
