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.

ABSOLUTELY!!!
Kavanaugh confirmation eliminated any chance these democrats get to do anything but watch.
HA HA and LOL bitches.
Frack the Demonicrats!!
They haven’t done a lick of honest work in 12 years.
The only thing they are good at is fleecing hard working tax payers.
They then use the money, after they take their cut, to brainwash children and turn them into age arrested pawns for Antifa/BLM.
They used the rest of their time and money for idiotic endeavors like trying to impeach Trump.
“the process is too rushed to properly vet”.
I thought those lame ass Senators did that vetting when she was confirmed for the seat on the 7th Circuit court.
Perhaps SWINESTEIN is having a BRAINDEAD BIDEN moment!
That is why they made a vow unto themselves that whatever it took, by hook or by crook, they would win in 2020. Tiss is now 2020.
Just lok at how much respect Pelosi has had for the Republicans in the House. Give her the same respect. None. Elections have consequences. Get over it.
Whaaaaa! They’re going to stomp their feet and hold their breath until they turn blue and pass out. Ok, fine. Go for it.
I formerly reply: Fuque You.
The fact that they ( DemonRats) even ask is a sign that they have no respect for Republicants.

She was vetted a few years ago. McConnell has to tell that witch NO, and then just push it through and get it done by Oct 29th as planned.
Well, who could have predicted this!
Hey Di fi take your group and pound sand.
That court scene was the best.
OK, lets move it up a week then. Since they won’t be ready even with the 2-week delay Ms Lindsey gave them to start, might as well get it over with early.
And if they complain or demand more delay, make even earlier.
Graham, as was his lover McCain had and has a history of, voting with us versus the Socialists. On issues that would hurt us and hurt us bad both would vote against our interests. And having this nomination derailed would hurt us very badly i do not trust Graham at all. But I am not from South Carolina.
No way.
It’s a slam dunk denial, he wants to be reelected.
Everyone knows why Diane Feinstein is asking for this. She is hoping the democrats can forestall her confirmation until after the election in the hopes that Biden might win. Don’t fall for it Republicans. This old lady is just gonna give it a try but don’t fall for it. Amy is the best thing to happen to the Republican side since Trump won. Just go for it!
We informally say, Not just NO, but HALE no!
That’s cute.
Did she ask really, really nicely?
Lol...
