The top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee suggested Wednesday the Republican chairman disrespected a female senator by holding a hearing over her objection to a judicial pick from her home state.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Democrat, had withheld her “blue slip” on the nomination of Michael Brennan, President Trump’s pick to a seat to a Wisconsin-held seat on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Ms. Baldwin said the state’s bipartisan commission for nominating judicial nominees was ignored by the Trump White House.
But Chairman Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, held a hearing on Mr. Brennan on Wednesday, suggesting he’ll move forward despite the lack of consent from Ms. Baldwin.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the committee, said Mr. Grassley was mishandling the issue.
“I find it really very hard — and particularly for a woman senator who has tried so hard, who has worked with her state commission — for her view to be rebuffed in this manner,” Mrs. Feinstein said.
Her office didn’t respond to a request for comment about why she pointed out Ms. Baldwin’s sex. Mr. Grassley last year held a hearing on another nominee opposed by a male Democratic senator, so the move wasn’t unique.

Get over it, Feinstein.
I am surprised DIFi wasn’t griping about Tammy having a baby instead of an abortion.
Oh shut up Feinstein.
At this point it’s all just political kabuki.
Race card. Gender card. The Democrats need a new deck of cards!
Dementia is such a sad thing. DiFi has bots in the belfry.
Hey di...you aren’t male and female...you are SENATORS....GROW UP!!
Anytime the media uses ‘top” in their headline or intro, they are getting ready to stick it to us.
The thought of Dianne Feinstein in a blue slip is enough to make a man reach for a glass of whiskey, a gun and two bullets.
Swinestein is a disgrace to the world.
Does she know that?
Ms Baldwin is a lesbian, what sex does that make her?
I thought I read that Tammy was going to give birth in her Office.
“But Chairman Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, held a hearing on Mr. Brennan on Wednesday, suggesting he’ll move forward despite the lack of consent from Ms. Baldwin.”
Make it so, Mr. Grassley. No demonrat should have a voice in anything, ever.
“Does she know that?”
The first rule of Dunning-Kruger Club is that you don’t know you’re in Dunning-Kruger Club.
Demoncrats need a timeout card, and send them to their room until they quit crying.
Do you have the right Tammy ?
Why should Sen. Grassley care about the color of a female senator’s slip?
Oh dry up, Diane.
If there’s any way to be more dried up than you are now
