The behavior of the Democrats in regard to the appointment of federal judges, especially Supreme Court justices has been abysmal for decades, starting with Robert Bork and finishing with Justice Amy Coney Barrett. It has been so bad for so many years that the Republicans finally learned to fight back during the attacks on Brett Kavanaugh during his hearing and stood their ground with Amy Coney Barrett despite the Democrats throwing a tantrum and leveling all kinds of attacks at them. Now, with a supreme lack of self-awareness, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee,...

For the past month, Democrats have been sounding the alarm over Judge Amy Coney Barrett's hurried nomination to the Supreme Court, calling it a hypocritical power grab by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; a likely death sentence for the Affordable Care Act, Roe v. Wade, environmental regulations, voting rights, LGBTQ rights and gun control; the end of the legitimacy of the Supreme Court; and a potentially vital assist in President Donald Trump's effort to steal the election.

Dianne Feinstein. In a story published by The New York Times the weekend before Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearings began, various sources within the party voiced no confidence in the California senator’s ability to lead Democrats’ efforts to stop the nomination. Like a previous article published last month in Politico, the...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein was caught criticizing Amy Coney Barrett's faith during hearing. Barrett's long-time friend Anne Falgoust weighs in on her record.
