The NYT and Politico have stories out today describing what seemed obvious - that Ms. Feinstein's illnesses included much beyond the shingles. Encephalitis, for example, which routinely reduces brain function.
Her behavior has long suggested some form of dementia, reinforced recently by a CNN report that made her seem confused about whether she had even been absent from DC for months.
Senators Durbin and Schumer are not doing their duty and urging Ms. Feinstein to do hers and promptly retire.
