GOP thwarts Democrats' attempt to replace Feinstein on Judiciary panel.
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans blocked a request by Democrats to temporarily replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee while she recovers from illness. Feinstein had requested to be removed until she returns to the Senate, but the request was opposed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee. Democrats can still seek a full Senate vote to replace Feinstein, but that is subject to a filibuster and requires 60 votes. Feinstein has not offered a timetable to return to the Senate.
