Senate Republicans Deny Feinstein’s Request to Temporarily Replace Her on Judicial Committee, Despite White House Disapproval

The White House has expressed its disapproval of Senate Republicans for denying Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) request to temporarily replace her on the Judicial Committee. This would have allowed her to recover from an illness and prevented her Republican-appointed replacement from providing the deciding vote to strike down Roe v. Wade's abortion rights guarantee. The Democratic Party is now facing a similar dilemma with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and it is unclear how they will proceed to ensure Biden's judicial nominees are approved.
