Short of illegality, I support any and every step Dems can take to oppose this nomination, and confirmation vote.
Graham has made it clear he doesn't care about the rules, he's already broken them in the current committee. So ultimately I don't think this will work but even the symbolic protest is important.

Wait, that can't be right, Senator Feinstein told us, "This is one of the best set of hearings I've participated in."

I know. Bless her heart. That was something.

The president has a right to fill an empty slot on the court as long as the Senate approves.

So it's OK for a single scheming senator to take away the president's right to fill an empty slot by blocking the Senate from evaluating or voting on approval of the president's appointee?

DiFi's one of the prime example of the reasons most folks don't like either politics or politicians, she's an anachronism who's way past her use by date. It's always a bit sad to watch someone with a long career behind them, slide into irrelevance.

I like to think that she was just on old person autopilot and was doing the usual niceties without thinking.

This statement is ageist and sexist fyi. She WAS ferociously intelligent.

Word on Capitol Hill is she now sometimes gets lost in the corridors of the Senate Office Building, she no longer leaves her office without an escort. Like it or not this is the sort of rumor mill DC runs on and this is the current on DiFi. Your defenses are noted. You're a loyal soldier.

I will dust-off and repeat one of my problems with DiFi - as her work on the intelligence committee has shown, she seems to be fine with any and all spying on Americans...but if/when she herself is spied upon, she is wont to pitch a fit.

Why don't you and everyone else here immediately remember that this woman, Barrett was confirmed on Nov 3, 2016? Did something change that I'm not aware of?

It's within the bounds of the Constitution - perhaps it should be changed so he can't do that again.

#1 Turning the Barrett nomination fiasco into Democrats attacking Democrats for being civil is a true win for the GOP.
#2 Of all the issues to have with Sen. Feinstein, this can't possibly be in anyone's top 10.

Obama was president in Nov 2016, but "something" did change around that time that led to her confirmation in 2017.

Trump nominated her to the Seventh Circuit on May 8, 2017, and the Senate held a confirmation vote on October 31, 2017.
