TL;DR Summary

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to temporarily replace ailing Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee this week, which requires unanimous consent from all senators. However, at least one Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton, is likely to block the move, making it tougher for Democrats to confirm more judges. Reshuffling the panel’s roster would take several days and the votes of at least 10 GOP senators. Feinstein rejected any talk of resigning in a statement last week, asking that she be removed from the committee until she returns to the Senate.
