Yesterday The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article reporting that some of the Democrats have called for a delay in the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote to Senate<\/a> Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to challenge the planned Oct. 12 date for Barrett\u2019s hearing. Feinstein argued that there is not enough time to rush the vetting process for Barrett.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe timeline for consideration of Judge Barrett\u2019s nomination is incompatible with the Senate\u2019s constitutional role,\u201d Feinstein wrote<\/a>. \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feinstein asserted that the current process to nominate Barrett \u201cis a sharp departure from past practice\u201d and \u201cundercuts the Senate\u2019s ability to fulfill its advice and consent role and deprives the American people of a meaningful opportunity to gauge the nominee and her record for themselves.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The longtime California Democrat asked about whether the FBI can \u201cthoroughly vet\u201d Barrett\u2019s background, review documents related to the judge, review her entire record, and provide \u201cadequate time\u201d for questioning her.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to remind Senator Feinstein that Judge Barrett was thoroughly vetted when she was nominated to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2017, and confirmed on October 31, 2017. I would also like to note that three Democrats voted with the Republicans to confirm Judge Barrett\u2013Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, and Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly.<\/p>\n

If Senator Feinstein is so concerned about a thorough vetting, why not simply do a vetting from Mary 2017 to the present. I am sure that could be done quickly. However, since Senator Feinstein’s objection probably has very little to do with vetting, I suspect that would not solve the problem. Get out the popcorn. Although this is extremely sad, it may be very entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
