Feinstein announces Kavanaugh opposition: 'Justices should not be an extension of Republican Party'
The Washington Times ^ | September 16, 2018 | Tom Howell Jr.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California announced plans Sunday to formally oppose Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying justices “should not be an extension of the Republican Party.”

Ms. Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said she was troubled by how the nominee had been vetted, citing a lack of documents on Judge Kavanaugh’s career with the Bush administration.

But, she wrote in the L.A. Times, her decision was determined by the “very real-world implications” of placing him on the court.

“We already knew that Judge Kavanaugh held highly ideological views on the 2nd Amendment, women’s reproductive rights and the executive power of the presidency. Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony shed new light on these positions and on his loyalty to President Trump and his political agenda,” she wrote. “Supreme Court justices should not be an extension of the Republican Party. They must also have unquestionable character and integrity, and serious questions remain about Judge Kavanaugh in this regard, as indicated in information I referred to the FBI.”

Feinstein has taken the low road, she's more concerned about her reelection than our country and is playing to her base.

And yet she happily supports judges who are nothing more than extensions of the Democrat party.

Hypocrite - she lost her Trump card and it blew back in her face so now she changes the subject.

Ginsberg, the wide Latina, and Kagan are socialists and should not have been rubber-stamped by the GOP.

Of course not. Justices should all be an extension of the Democrap party. Fortunately, on of those, the old crow Ruth Bader Ginsburg has one foot in the grave and the Donald will get to replace her also. Suck on that Feinstein.

Indeed, we should use justices Ginsberg and Sotomayer as our standards of judicial non-partisanship and impartiality.

…because the “Bret’s a high school rapist” meme didn’t have legs.

Exactly...That stunt she tried to pull and failed is one of the lowest hit jobs I've seen in politics, she is pathetic.

Yes, and it’s OK to have schools, Hollyweird, professional sports, and big corporate America act as arms of the Demommunists.

But the Democrat Party is okay?

She needs to read a history book about FDR (or visit a memory clinic) as to how politicalization of the judiciary started.
