Maybe until the left can find some false charges to bring up against some of them and force them out.

Totally applicable.

Doesn't matter. We have enough RINO's in the senate that will defeat anything the real conservatives try to do.

The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein places Gov. Gavin Newsom under intense pressure to quickly name a replacement as a bitterly divided Congress votes on a spending plan in the coming hours to avert a government shutdown.
Newsom had hoped to avoid the politically charged decision of selecting a second senator. But he will need to move swiftly as a budget standoff has the government on the verge of shutting down, and Senate Democrats could need every vote. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) affirmed on Friday that the fast-moving political situation creates an imperative for Newsom to make a difficult decision quickly.

Watch the RINO's fuck this up.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s death at 90 creates a vacancy on the powerful Judiciary Committee. Democrats could need 60 votes to replace her, leaving controversial judicial nominees in limbo until then.
Senate Republicans are signaling they won't try and block Feinstein's committee seats from being filled. Back in April, Republicans blocked Democrats from appointing a temporary replacement for Feinstein as she was ailing with shingles and unable to return to Washington for months.
"Under the circumstances, it's kind of follow whatever the precedent is," Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said Friday.
Typically when a seat is vacant there is no fight about allowing vacant committee seats to be filled. Committee appointments are often done by unanimous consent.
Rules of replacement: If any Republicans were to object to a UC request, Democrats would need 60 votes to appoint a senator to fill Feinstein’s role on the Judiciary panel, meaning at least 10 Republicans would need to vote in favor of filling Democrats’ majority on the panel, assuming they move to do so before someone is appointed to the California Senate seat.
Senators are typically assigned to committees by unanimous consent, but such orders are subject to debate and can be filibustered. Republican senators could slow, or stop, Democrats from filling the Judiciary roster.
The panel, under Democratic control, has been advancing scores of judicial nominations that Republicans object to. Leaving the panel short one Democratic vote would hamper the majority’s steady confirmation of President Joe Biden’s nominees.
In April, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had chosen Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin, who has since announced his plans to retire at the end of this Congress and has been named Senate Foreign Relations chair. It's unclear if Schumer would still pursue that resolution.
Feinstein’s death also leaves vacancies on the Senate Intelligence, Appropriations and Rules committees.

Here's the opening to put Kamala in her senate seat.
Never going to happen because they can't afford to get rid of her. A new VP requires a majority vote of both houses of Congress. Republicans don't want a new VP, because that means ties in the Senate don't get broken and without a majority vote, nothing moves that they don't agree to.
Also - technically, Republicans control the Senate right now 50-49 until the new CA senator is appointed and sworn in. But they won't do anything about that.

That fucking loser romney would vote against his state and party anyway.

1973, VP Spiro Agnew.
The intel community wanted RMN gone, and Watergate was born. But the UniParty didn’t want Agnew as President.
So some tax evasion charges were cooked up, and Agnew was told to resign. Next, both parties knew that whoever got selected as VP was going to become President, so they needed someone both sides could live with. In comes Gerald Ford, a congressman from Michigan who was likeable, and had no baggage.
Ford sailed through confirmation in both the house and senate. Once they forced Nixon to resign, Ford became president.
We are in very similar territory now.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Newsom is moving swiftly to name the next senator, two days after Feinstein’s death and just as a perilously split Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown. Senate Democrats are in need of every vote in the closely divided chamber.

I guess we all knew he was going to select a black woman since he stated that.
I also guess we should have assumed he was going to select a black lesbian too.

Libs don't even try to hide the fact that they are racist, bigots that do not care about getting the most qualified person.

He should have just appointed a Black, female, lesbian, Illegal Alien for the perfect Democrat Senator.

She doesn’t currently live in California, so he got close.

Sorry, I tried to move the McSpadden thread to Pilot Zone, and moved this one instead. However, I moved DiFi thread back to the Spin Zone. Is it in the SZ now? I did this change in Tapatalk which is clunky.

Not yet... maybe it takes a minute or two for the database to update...
