The persistent problem is the fact she’s clearly not able to fulfil her duties. She should resign. It’s not like her seat is in danger.

Her seat is not in danger, but there's infighting over who will replace her. If Feinstein resigns, California's governor gets to appoint her replacement, and Gavin Newsom is likely to appoint a black woman if given the opportunity. Rumor has it that Nancy Pelosi wants Adam Schiff to replace Feinstein though, so she is pushing for the 90 year old Senator to finish her term.
Feinstein's caretaker also happens to be Pelosi's daughter. That's not a conflict of interest at all.
Yeah. Hearing about to whole feinstein thing, that is pretty disqusting levels of political machining. Since anymore it isn't even about Feinstein. Since as i understand it, she is way too out of it to even be considered for whether she retires herself or not. She is not of sound enough mind and body. Looking at couple previous interviews, she was way out of it. Like for example not remembering she had been absent for months. Insisting she had been voting all the time and so on. Which could be her lying, but more likely literally she has dementia son bad, that last thing she remembers clearly enough is "I was at senate voting, like I have been for decades" and missing the whole "you have been on deaths door for couple months and absent from Congress". Her short term memory is shot and so on.
What she can blamed for is for not retiring way before this already, when her health started to go down in the first place. Then she was of sound mind, could have seen what was coming and retired in peace.
Logan's Run makes more sense every day.
