Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., led a group of Democrats to formally call for a delay in the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett until after the presidential inauguration, saying the process is too rushed to properly vet President Trump's pick.
Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote Wednesday to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the chairman of the committee, to challenge the Oct. 12 date he set for Barrett's confirmation hearing.
“The timeline for consideration of Judge Barrett’s nomination is incompatible with the Senate’s constitutional role," Feinstein wrote. "We again urge you to delay consideration of this nomination until after the presidential inauguration. The Senate and the American public deserve a deliberative, thorough process, and this falls far short.”
Graham and Senate Republicans believe Barrett is supremely qualified and there's enough time to vet her, especially since she recently went through the rigorous process when she was confirmed in 2017 to become a judge on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
"The question for the country is, is [Judge Barrett] ready to be promoted? I think the answer is yes," Graham said this week. "I think she’s done everything anybody could hope a nominee for the Supreme Court would do in their life.”
“I think [Judge Barrett] is one of the most qualified people to ever be nominated to the Supreme Court," he added.
Barrett already turned in her 65-page questionnaire to the committee on her professional and legal history. She also turned in hundreds and hundreds of pages of her writings and legal opinions for the senators to review before questioning her on the Oct. 13 hearing.

Predictable Dem tactic. Any Republicans who falls for this either was never in Trump’s corner or is just clinically stupid.
Aw Geez, just take a vote for cryin out loud.
And we ask that Feinstein be brought to justice for sheltering a Chinese spy and being protected by the Dems.
So Dims, fu. Yes we know if we loose elections we are screwed. Regardless of what we do. So, fu.
Screw them. If republicans back down on this why should Trump and the rest of us bother to continue to fight? I’m so sick of it all. At this point I’m all for Podesta’s blue state secession plan.
This is why you vote immediately.
