Feinstein announces Kavanaugh opposition: 'Justices should not be an extension of Republican Party'
The Washington Times ^ | September 16, 2018 | Tom Howell Jr.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California announced plans Sunday to formally oppose Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying justices “should not be an extension of the Republican Party.”

Ms. Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said she was troubled by how the nominee had been vetted, citing a lack of documents on Judge Kavanaugh’s career with the Bush administration.

But, she wrote in the L.A. Times, her decision was determined by the “very real-world implications” of placing him on the court.

“We already knew that Judge Kavanaugh held highly ideological views on the 2nd Amendment, women’s reproductive rights and the executive power of the presidency. Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony shed new light on these positions and on his loyalty to President Trump and his political agenda,” she wrote. “Supreme Court justices should not be an extension of the Republican Party. They must also have unquestionable character and integrity, and serious questions remain about Judge Kavanaugh in this regard, as indicated in information I referred to the FBI.”

Uh oh. We were counting on Feinstein’s vote. There’s no way Brett gets confirmed now.

I don’t remember Feinstein disagreeing when Obama said elections have consequences.

FTA: “We already knew that Judge Kavanaugh held highly ideological views on the 2nd Amendment...”

One sentence into her statement and DiFi indicts herself as an anti-Constitutionalist, as we all knew anyway. Another brick in the wall...

Feinstein’s great white whale she will never get is the our coveted 2nd Amendment.

She sees a fair and Constitutional Supreme Court and impediment to whittling the 2A down as much as possible without a Constitutional Amendment, Article V, and Convention of States.

Judge Kavanaugh blocks her for her life. I’d say that’s enough to confirm him this minute. She is 85 though. She probably doesn’t buy green bananas at this age.

Translation:

Supreme Court justices SHOULD be an extension of the Democrat Party.”

Let's always remember that it was Democrats, not Republicans, who turned Supreme Court confirmation proceedings from a Senate formality to a overtly political process.

Well, guess what ... now that approach has come back and bitten them in the ass in a very big way. That's how they ended up with no filibuster, no Merrick Garland, and a retarded mutant on the Senate Judicuary Committee who is powerless to do anything except call himself "Spartacus" and make an ass out of himself on national television.

She is giving cover for others to not vote for him.
