Pelosi is among a group of Democrats privately urging 61-year-old Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to challenge Nadler, 77, for his post. Raskin is thinking about it, though hasn’t made up his mind and must weigh the fact that he and Nadler are friends, congressional colleagues told the Times.

While Nadler has no apparent health issues, Democrats are still shaken by the decline of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who ***** at age 90 last year, months after taking a leave of the party’s top Judiciary post in the Upper Chamber and long after she had exhibited signs of cognitive impairment.

Trump’s MAGA acolytes in Congress will be expected to help carry out the president-elect’s combative approach to law and order. The top *********** in the House Judiciary Committee is Jim Jordan (R-OH), a founder of the populist and MAGA-friendly Freedom Caucus.

Nadler isn’t the only ranking Democrat under the microscope. The Times reported Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), 76, the top party member on the Natural Resources Committee, and Rep. David Scott (D-GA), 79, the top party member on the Agriculture Committee, are facing challenges from younger house members.
