  1. NYT Editorial Board:
    Senator #Diane #Feinstein has had a distinguished career in the U.S. Senate, but her infirmities and illness now force her — and Senate leaders like Charles Schumer — to make a painful choice.

    At age 89, Ms. Feinstein is now the Senate’s oldest member, and health issues have kept her out of Washington and the Senate chamber for more than two months, at a time when vital legislation and judicial nominations are hanging on a knife’s edge.

    If she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Senate and to her constituents, she #should #resign and turn over her responsibilities to an #appointed #successor.

    If she is unable to reach that decision on her own, Mr. #Schumer, the majority leader, and other Democratic senators should make it clear to her and the public how #important it is that she do so.
