Sen. Dianne Feinstein has been away from the Senate since February 27th.

This has held up legislation and judicial nominees.

The New York Times editorial board is now calling for her to resign.

Newsmax reported:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has had a “distinguished career,” but her illnesses and growing infirmities mean she and Senate leaders have a “painful choice to make” about her future, the editorial board of The New York Times said Friday.

“If she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Senate and her constituents, she should resign and turn over her responsibilities to an appointed successor,” the board wrote, adding that if Feinstein, 89, can’t make that decision on her own, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats should “make it clear to her and the public” that she must step down.

“Under the circumstances, Mr. Schumer should turn up the public pressure on her to return or resign, setting aside the antique Senate gentility that can hobble common-sense decision-making there,” the editorial said.

…

Senators have a “primary and inescapable duty” to show up and vote, and “if they cannot do that for extended periods, they are depriving their constituents — and California has 39 million of them — of a voice and fundamental representation,” the board said.

Feinstein has been elected six times. Now, with the Senate remaining closely divided and Biden administration judicial nominations remaining hanging, she’s not only depriving Californians but American voters of “full representation” on appointments and legislation, the Times board wrote.

Feinstein has announced she will not seek re-election.
