    It is sad that she is dead, but she should have retired a while ago.

      Yeah like shes had physical and mental issues for a long time now, you’d think retiring to focus on her health would be a thing.

      yeah I sorta feel bad as Im almost happy just because that seat needs to be vacated. I wish she had just retired so that I could be sadder and have more of a feeling of how great this representative had been. But she made a situation where its like a relief that she died.

      No, she shouldn’t have. Wanna know why there was such an online campaign push for her retirement?

      Because she was the tie-breaking vote in the Senate judiciary committee, and Mitch McConnell blocked her replacement.

      If she had retired, all of Joe Biden’s executive or judicial nominations, would’ve been dead in the water.

      You should be glad she kept going to confirm as many of his picks as long as she could, because now problems are on the way.

        She should have retired over a decade ago. She’s responsible for her part of all this mess because she kept a seat that could have gone to someone younger for over a decade longer than she should have.

        That is if she was in the committee. What would happen if she was no longer a senator? Is the Senate going to keep an unbalanced committee?
