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.”

“Justices should not be an extension of Republican Party,they should be an extension of the Democrat Party”
With RBG comments last week, I suspect her time on the Court is only a couple more years.
We are seeing panic on the part of the RATS
“Justices should not be an extension of Republican Party,they should be an extension of the Democrat Party”
The woman thing is an absolute ass of a troll.
CMIIR but haven't there been more documents released on Kavanaugh than all the other justices?
Good one, most appropriate.
Bump!
Sore Loser Democrats shouldn’t be allowed to destroy people at whim.I hope karma steps in quickly.
This is news? She ALWAYS opposed Kavanaugh from Day One.
Beat me to it.
Liberals lie about everything all the time.
The octogenarian senator apparently pulled a Ruth Ginsberg and slept through the hearings. Kavanaugh said Roe was precedent and was careful not to telegraph any prejudice on issues.
I’d guess giving her a couple more years may be giving her the benefit of the doubt, I was stunned at her lack of awareness.
And US Senators should not get away with having a Chinese spy on their staff for 20 years with no investigation into the matter. We the people demand an investigation.
Thanks.
Ruth Buzzy G., The Wise Latina, Kagan don’t
have any views of 2A?
DiFi should save her fury for when Ruth Badder kicks the bucket. She will long for a Kavanaugh.
I’m gonna have such a hard time explaining how a bunch of 90 year olds started the second civil war in America.
They oppose Kavenough because he is honest and competent, and his appointment would leave them without enough Leftwing ideologues on the court to protect the garbage ruling that is Roe v Wade.
