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.

Graham is not worried about being re elected. If he gets in some skull duggery, he knows that he can bull shit the voters in South Carolina and they will believe what he tells them instead of their lying eyes. And re elect him.
When they’re behind, they beg for mercy. When they’re ahead, they have none.

No Hearings, Schedule the Vote for Tomorrow.
MMMMmmmmmmmm..........NO !!!!
HELL NO DI FI UNMASKED WHEN SHE INSISTED EVERYONE BE MASKED!!! HYPOCRISY!
HELL NO, BITCH!!
HAAAAA HAAAA.
Rats said they did not want to meet with to her. So screw them. Just take the vote.
The party of stupid. Country clubbers who don’t know the country is crumbling around them. Dems are the party of evil.
I would have put it to floor with no hearings. Or yes, as you suggested some low limited amount of time.
Not me. I wrote him a letter saying so. If this nomination does not get out of committee and a vote on the floor by the end of October, I will not vote for LG. I think there are many of us in the state who feel the same. And no doubt, Repugnants will lose control of the senate.
Thank you for doing that.
