John,

Last week, I made a simple statement: If Senator Feinstein is missing votes and failing to fulfill her responsibilities as a member of the US Senate, she must resign.

Senator Feinstein has had a long and distinguished career in public service. She has blazed a trail for women in positions of power since her days as mayor of San Francisco. But her absence in the Senate for the foreseeable future leaves Democrats in a very difficult position.

The fact is that without Senator Feinstein’s presence on the Judiciary Committee, we are deadlocked by a 50-50 vote and unable to approve nominees for federal judges. With rogue judges and radical Trump appointees running our federal courts, fundamental constitutional rights such as women’s health and safety and the right to choose are on the line. We cannot afford delay. We must choose democracy over decorum.

Sign if you agree: It’s time for Senator Feinstein to resign so judicial confirmations don’t grind to a halt.

We have a responsibility to put democracy first over personal loyalty. But right now, beltway insiders are holding the Judiciary Committee hostage for the sake of maintaining the status quo.

Sign if you agree: To preserve our fundamental rights in the courts, we need a US Senator who can keep judicial appointments on track.

Onward,
Ro
