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.

I have no idea why the GOP is fooling around with this in committee. They need to move this to the floor and vote ASAP.
Amy is reportedly Mitch’s pick too, so it will be a no.
LOL!
DiFi and San Fran Nan should meet with POTUS, McConnell and Graham and lay that on them.
Well...I just hate them back
F this corrupt -itch and her party.
2 words
Elections.....consequences
Isn’t that what we were told?
Well said!!!
And we formerly ask that Feinstein shoves her worthless question up her Obamahole.
Please refresh my memory.
Was it Feinstein, or somebody else, who waited until the last minute to bring up alleged dirt on Kavanaugh for his confirmation hearing?
Obstructionism changes an adminstrations timeline. Subtract the score of months 45 has dealt with obstructionism and that is where the dems currently find themselves. For that reason alone the confirmation should proceed.
Let it be known and proceed.
OK - they have advised the nomination be held till after the election. NOW, move to the floor for the consent part of advice and consent....Do it before the debate next week....
Harry Reid nuked that constitutional role, Schumer and your party are actively calling to subvert the constitution - FU.
It takes time to gin up the fake charges.
It is more difficult for “beach friends” to help craft charges given restrictions in travel and social distancing requirements.
Excellent point, the witch should have been run out of the Senate for that stunt.
How so, DiFiChiSpy?
Please do explain.
They should have started the hearing process this week and limited it to 8 hours and then the vote. Why is this so hard for the gutless Republicans on the committee?
She was vetted in 2017 for a federal bench. There’s no reason to believe she subsequently disqualified herself.
Read the prior hearing into the record, and vote.
It’s not like she newly adopted 2 kids and joined a devout Catholic organization in the last 3 years.
