Demand Justice, a progressive outside group, is calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) to step down as the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee in the wake of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation hearings.
“It's time for Sen. Feinstein to step down from her leadership position on the Senate Judiciary Committee. If she won't, her colleagues need to intervene," said Brian Fallon, the executive director of Demand Justice.
Fallon added that Feinstein had "undercut Democrats' position at every step of this process."
"If Senate Democrats are going to get their act together on the courts going forward, they cannot be led by someone who treats Sunrise activists with contempt and the Republican theft of a Supreme Court seat with kid gloves," he said.

Lefties always end up eating their own - the only question is how quickly the menu expands. That’s largely a question of how long it takes for the power to concentrate in a central committee, or ultimately in a single tyrant. One of the most amusing features of the movie “The Death of Stalin” is watching that phenomenon play out among the Soviets.
