GOP thwarts Democratic push to replace Feinstein on Judiciary Committee
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans blocked an attempt by Democrats to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee during her absence due to shingles. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer requested unanimous consent to make the move, but it was blocked by Sen. Lindsey Graham. Feinstein has been absent from the Capitol since late February, and the only other legislative avenue Democrats have to replace her on the key panel is to convince 10 Senate Republicans to break a filibuster.
