Let's call these folks the decent people. I think there are others who want to take this nominee down at any cost. Let's call these folks the operatives. If the nominee isn't taken down, the operatives are going to blame the decent people. But frankly the decent people are the ones whose careers I want to advance, because some things shouldn't be partisan.

Cannon fodder is a better analogy. This is involuntary.
I'm withholding judgment on Feinstein. Her handling of this could be admirable, or it could be something very different. I don't think I know enough, so I'm not willing at this point to accuse or applaud. ETA: https://www.thedailybeast.com/anita-...er-in-hot-seat
