'I haven't been gone,' Sen. Dianne Feinstein told reporters. 'I've been working... I've been here. I've been voting. Please, either know or don't know.”
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein attends a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington on May 11.
In a brief exchange with reporters after voting, she mentioned a problem with her leg but on the balance of things said she was feeling better.

I've been working.""No, I've been here. I've been voting. Please, either know or don't know.
The committee actually approved six judges on Thursday —but three sailed through because they had bipartisan support and didn't require Feinstein's presence. Two more judicial nominees will be questioned by the committee Wednesday. One is U.S. District Court Judge Ana de Alba, who is the daughter ofand nominated for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
“We need her in the committee. We need her on the floor, but we're doing our best to be sensitive to her medical condition.”
