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 Barretts nomination is incompatible with the Senates 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 shes 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.

Media of the world,
Tell dem Dem lies!
Time for Rape Train! Rape Train!
About that impeachment.
Payback’s a bitch.
Loved the Ojays.
DiFi: Fake letters don’t prepare themselves, you know.
It takes time to gin up the fake charges.
Fallout from the debate is drowning out news on the SC nomination process.
Yeah...no.
Diane, remember when you was a little girl and the dentist still used that hand-cranked drill? Well, it’s kind of like that. It is painful but best to get it over with quickly. Put your big girl pants on.
If we can pass bills to see what is in them can’t we just nominate her to see if she is qualified?
Ha ha ha ha ha! Hardy haw haw! Hee haw! No need for any more delays, Ritchie delayed us three years already. And Feinstein has no doubt already thought up her usual gross smelly slanders for the nominee
Of course, McConnell can waive the rules and bring the nom to a floor vote, and I'm sure he would do that in a heartbeat any other time, BUT if it is done too far from the election it will give the Dims time to use it as a campaign issue.
Running the confirmation on the schedule they have now, the vote could be Oct 31st or Nov 1st giving the Dims little time to do damage control or use it as a commercial.
NOFW
All together now...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AND...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Now go have a playdate with your Chinese Spy Limo Driver Feinstein
Only to allow hearings on Deep State sabotage against the incoming Trump administration and Hunter Biden escapades.
Mrs. Barrett has ALREADY been before this committee- and approved as a Federal District Judge. She has had many full background checks, that can be quickly updated. Hearing would take a day (were it not for the oh so “fair” outgoing- he is leaving the chair to Grassley if the Repubs are in the majority next year— Lindsey woolsey wiffleball Graham). A single day, and a committee vote.
Full Senate next day.
Feinstein needs time to FORCE murkowski to go down low— again with what she and her chicom managers have on murkie.
Not even the election, but the inauguration! That takes bulls.
The nomination dies with the Congress, and this Congress ends at the end of the year. After that, shed have to be renominated.
Nope! No delay.
File a KMA response.
Sorry Di. This past election was valid. You have time to ask whatever questions you like.
As Belichick Is fond of saying, Do you f***ing job.
Memo back: after careful consideration for a nano second, we have decided to not slow down the confirmation, in fact, we are speeding it up. Good day and buy bonds.
