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.

    He had a Democratic majority in Congress

    Bruh…

    The same shit that happens today, happened back then too.

    When Rs have a majority, they go nuts and pass all types of shit.

    When Ds have a majority, there’s always X number of Dems willing to take the publicity hit to oppose progress. Where X equals the amount of majority they have.

    Like, we got 52 D senators, 3 won’t vote. We have 57, 8 won’t. If we had 75, 26 won’t.

    You never realized how big of a coincidence it is that there’s always enough to stop progress? It’s because there’s a shit ton that are oppose it, they just won’t say it because then they get replaced.

      That’s not what was going on here. He had no idea how to negotiate with his own party. He micromanaged to the point that he insisted on approving use of the White House tennis court for the first 6 months in office. He could never let go of petty details, and it kept him from prioritizing important decisions.
