...is making a strong case for her to resign and then having her ignore those calls. Probably it would best for those Democrats who know Feinstein personally and believe she should resign, that they attempt to influence her privately.

I recall that she really resisted being pinned down to a decision not to seek reelection, I think her own staff ultimately issued a statement on her behalf saying she would not run again, and she did not seem to know they had done so and was still claiming that she had not decided.
