    The “dump Feinstein” movement is superficially about the Barrett hearings, but let’s be honest - Democrats were never going to stop Barrett when Rs had the votes. The movement’s really about a potential Dem senate majority, and Feinstein signaling support for blue slips.

        In case you’re not online constantly: Blue slips = home state senators signing off on nominees. Even if a nominee can get 51 votes, home state senators currently have veto power. That’s how so many appeals seats were held open under Obama.

        And her cutting a nice campaign ad for Lindsey despite the hearings being a railroaded sham

        That hug totally pissed me off. I don’t know enough to know what she got for that hug. If it was just an “oh, you’re my good old buddy from years back” hug, shame on her.

        Very true. But, it's apparent that the movement is both outside the Senate Democratic caucus but within it as well.

        For groups I’m in, it was mostly about the Barrett hearing, but now that you mention her position on blue slips...

        Also, an obvious need for vastly younger dem leadership.

        There are several reasons Feinstein why she should step aside and let the next generation takeover.
