  • Feinstein was on the following committees. You don’t think she pushed California’s interests in every one.

    • Committee on Appropriation

    • Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies

    • Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies

    • Subcommittee on Defense

    • Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development (Chairman)

    • Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies

    • Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies

    • Committee on Rules and Administration

    • Committee on the Judiciary

    • Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism

    • Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights

    • Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law

    • Subcommittee on the Constitution (Chairman)

    • Select Committee on Intelligence


  • That would be from a different state and then that state would lose the power of having a senior committee member.

    There is a reason Senator Robert Byrd was the longest-serving U.S. Senator. Serving three different tenures as chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Appropriations enabled Byrd to steer a great deal of federal money toward projects in West Virginia.


  • Blame the Senate Committe Seniority system.

    Seniority in the United States Senate is based on the length of time a senator serves on a committee. The majority party member with the most seniority on a committee usually serves as the chair.

    That is the only reason to keep sending these people back as old as they are. You send someone new, they have zero power.
