East Bay Times Letters to the Editor for May 31, 2023
drove the car used to pull down the statue of abolitionist Hans Heg in Madison, Wisc., one month after the June 2020 killing of George Floyd. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail and ordered to pay for the damaged statue.
Compare that to the five people who had their felony vandalism charges reduced to misdemeanors for destroying the statue of Father Junipero Serra at a Marin County church in October 2020. Their sentence also required them to replace or repair the statue, do 50 hours of community service and make a written apology. They will serve no jail time. That’s not equal justice.I salute Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She should serve out the rest of her term.
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she will ensure that President Biden’s federal judicial nominees are appointed. To save our democracy, we must save our courts from moving to the far right, as the Supreme Court has moved. If Feinstein resigns, her replacement will have no seniority and no place on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Republicans would fight to put another Republican in her place. Then, the federal courts could go the way of the Supreme Court.
Instead, we should accept the wisdom of Hillary Clinton when she said Feinstein should not resign. The East Bay Times would do well to stop pushing a counter-narrative.Poll: Two-thirds say ailing Feinstein is unfit to serveIt may be that it is time for Dianne Feinstein to give up her Senate position, but is it any wonder that 67% of registered California voters agree when you have bombarded your front page with articles saying she is an unfit, doddering old woman? Surprise, surprise.
