Senate Dems Toss Feinstein Under The Bus Ahead Of SCOTUS Battle: ‘She Can’t Pull This Off’
DAILY WIRE ^ | 9/23/2020 | Eric Quintanar

Posted on 09/27/2020 9:48:30 AM PDT by bitt

Ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee battle over President Donald Trump’s soon-to-be third Supreme Court nominee, Democratic senators have reportedly started to worry that Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 87, the ranking member of the judiciary committee, may botch the hearings to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the court.

“She’s not sure what she’s doing,” a Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Politico. “If you take a look at Kavanaugh, we may be short two senators because of that. And if this gets [messed] up, it may be the same result.

According to Politico, two other Democratic senators have expressed concerns, both also on the condition of anonymity, about Feinstein botching the committee hearing.

“She can’t pull this off,” said another Democratic senator, while yet another reportedly told Politico that the Democratic leadership were in “an impossible position” because they couldn’t risk the optics of having to replace her.

Feinstein told Politico in an interview that she was “surprised and taken aback” by suggestions she was incapable of serving in her role, saying “my attendance is good, I do the homework, I try to ask hard questions. I stand up for what I believe in.”

“Let me say this — I know it’s going to be a fight. I understand that,” said Feinstein, reports the news agency. “I don’t have a lot of tools to use, but I’m going to use what I have. We can try to delay and obstruct but they can run this process through. That doesn’t mean that we won’t fight tooth and nail.”

Dianne Feinstein is an appropriate representative for a city whose streets are littered with human excrement and drug paraphernalia.

Not quite the part-time citizen government that was envisioned by the founders, is it?

When she does die, what is she left with? What did she stand up for? Her legacy is in the service of evil. Empty and worthless.

What a sick freak.

Amy Coney Barrett will be on the Court in 2060.

”How can she botch an impossible task?”

I have read that the Kavanagh fiasco cost the Dems several seats in the Senate. Feinstein was the architect of that with the last minute accusations that Feinstein withheld. If Feinstein repeats such a poor showing, perhaps the Dems could lose a couple more Senate seats in November.

Simply delaying the confirmation has value. Trump could lose. Trump could die. World War III could breakout. For the Democrats these are very desperate times.

There is nothing Chi-Fi can do about this, nothing any Democrat can do, only Republicans can screw this up.

“....only Republicans can screw this up.”

Sadly the odds of that are pretty good.

Hi.

I hope you are doing well.

“Power struggle in the Dem. Party.”

It’s both a power struggle and an ideological struggle. Imho, it will rend apart the ‘Rats for two decades.

Glorious.
