Diane Feinstein returns to the Senate after months of a medical absence. Should the Senator resign from her position? Is it ethical for her to stay in office? We discuss. Just a week after her return to the United States Senate after a roughly three month absence, questions continue to swirl around Sen. Dianne Feinstein and her mental capacity to serve in the world’s greatest deliberative body. The 89-year-old Democrat had been recovering from shingles at home in California, and had been absent from the Hill since February. Her long-awaited return on May 10 not only meant that the Senate Democratic Caucus would be at full attendance – since both Feinstein and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman had been absent for much of the spring – but that the one-seat margin Democrats held on the powerful Judiciary Committee would be reconstituted to help advance President Joe Biden’s judicial nominations.
