Major abortion rights group calls for Democrats to replace Feinstein on Judiciary Committee
The Hill ^ | October 16, 2020 | Jessie Hellmann

NARAL Pro-Choice America is calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to be replaced on the Senate Judiciary Committee after she called Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings “the best set of hearings that I’ve participated in.”

“Americans--whose lives hang in the balance--deserve leadership that underscores how unprecedented, shameful and wrong this process is,” NARAL President Ilyse Hogue said in a statement Friday. "The Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, failed to make this clear and in fact offered an appearance of credibility to the proceedings that is wildly out of step with the American people. As such, we believe the committee needs new leadership."

Many Democrats and progressive groups argue that Barrett’s nomination and confirmation hearings are “illegitimate” because the election is just weeks away and millions of people have already voted.

Demand Justice, a progressive group that often challenges the Democratic establishment, called for Feinstein to step down earlier this week. But Friday's calls from NARAL were a surprise from an organization that typically aligns itself with Democratic leaders.

“ Americans--whose lives hang in the balance…”

Apparently irony is not something NARAL doesn’t pick up on.

“Americans—whose lives are in the balance” ???????
The lives that are in the balance are 99.9% those of the unborn.

These evil, demonic people will not tolerate the slightest deviation from the party line. Even the most sincere and ardent supporters of the abortion abattoirs aren’t permitted enough latitude to make an expression of cordiality in a professional setting.

Hitler would be jealous that support for mass murder was so widely professed and powerful for the left.

Killing is the cornerstone of the left.

Legitimacy means lawful. Can anyone point to the law that was broken ?

So, the ‘Rat party has been taken over by its left wing over the years. It wasn’t overnight, but it’s a process... and evolving.

Things like this are examples of ongoing radicalization.

They police their own, and they are still moving leftwards.

Their leftmost members are not even leftist enough.

“...Killing is the cornerstone of the left....”

Because most of em are devil-worshippers that bow down to the abortion god, Molech. They’re vile, evil and dangerous.

Feinstein had no other avenue. She rarely if ever had to deal with someone who not only didn’t need her approval but did not want it

Amy may as well have had said, “Be gone! You have no power here.”

It seems that the people on the left think that we conservatives are happy about Lindsey Graham hugging Feinstein after the hearing. It just looks like swamp collusion to me.

The fact that Democrats didn’t bring out people accusing ACB of outrageous behavior that she never did is not reason to give them credit. Their gotcha DNC propaganda lines of questioning were very inappropriate.

I guess unborn American lives don’t hang in the balance. They just hang on the end of a suction device.
