Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

They only said they'd do that if she took a leave of absence. The next 4 oldest Senators are Grassley (90) - who's on Judiciary, Bernie (82), McConnell (81), and Risch (80 - Republican from Idaho); if they start playing the "no committee replacements for dead senators" game it's likely to come back and bite them in the ass very quickly.
Schumer and Biden will both say they can't believe it, then 10 seconds later go back to calling Republicans their best friends and bending over backwards for them
There will be a power vacuum on several committees in the Senate, and they probably have already written their editorials criticizing Newsom's choice as a replacement Senator, they are just waiting to fill in the name.
No democrat hated Feinstein because she was a woman, pretending that's the only reason just makes you look like your completely ignorant of American politics.
I don't think anyone is refusing to admit that. It's just that when you are a male and you're an asshole and you die in office you're not a bitch and a cunt, you're a fighter, died doing what you loved.
Come on. I was not born yesterday. Were you? Have you really not noticed this double standard within your own life?
Well you're right that they do exist in my head, but then I'm not ignorant and have seen some shit. Perhaps once you encounter it for yourself you'll be like "oh yeah that really does happen! Ha!" It's your lens, lack of empathy or experience, that has kept it from you thus far.
