Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he would like to move forward with a resolution to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on the Judiciary Committee temporarily sometime this week but provided few other details during a press conference with reporters on Monday.
“We would like to do it sometime this week. It’s only fair. It’s the only right thing to do,” Schumer said.Democrats want to attempt to replace Feinstein temporarily since she has been away recovering from shingles since March 7. The senior California senator has faced criticism from her colleagues, with some calling on her to resign last week after her prolonged absence continued to cause delays for President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees.
Swapping out the California senator’s membership on the Judiciary Committee is looking like an uphill battle. Schumer must propose amending the chamber’s organizing resolution, which could require consent from all 100 senators. If any senator decides to block unanimous consent, there would need to be 60 votes to break a filibuster.
Schumer said he needs to speak with his Democratic caucus about who he proposes to replace her, dodging a question from the Washington Examiner. He also said he had not yet spoken with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell about the situation but plans to soon.
