I spoke with a helpful young man in DC.  Expressed my extreme displeasure over the vote.  Then I said I thought she'd spent too much time inside the Washington bubble and no longer understood the needs of her constituency.  That her constituents were the Democrats, the party of the people.  Not the party of the Republicans.  And I said I was now going to be actively searching for her replacement.

He seemed a bit taken aback (though I somehow doubt that), said they'd gotten a lot of calls and that he would pass along the message.

There you go, teach.  My report.

Here was the spin I got from DiFi's office:  DiFi met with Southwick and determined that she was constitutionally qualified (whatever that means).  Then he stammered out the phrase that he wasn't sure if DiFi would vote for her on the floor, only that she'd voted yes in committee.

weasely.

we home sitting, non-YKos-ing, layabouts are good for something, aren't we?
