“I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working,” Feinstein told two reporters, according to a Slate article published Tuesday. She was asked if she meant she had been working remotely, to which Feinstein responded: “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting. Please. You either know or don’t know.”

John Rothmann joins today...He'll comment on the current political landscape and the potential of court expansion.
