Ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee battle over President Donald Trump’s soon-to-be third Supreme Court nominee, Democratic senators have reportedly started to worry that Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 87, the ranking member of the judiciary committee, may botch the hearings to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the court.
“She’s not sure what she’s doing,” a Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Politico. “If you take a look at Kavanaugh, we may be short two senators because of that. And if this gets [messed] up, it may be the same result.
According to Politico, two other Democratic senators have expressed concerns, both also on the condition of anonymity, about Feinstein botching the committee hearing.
“She can’t pull this off,” said another Democratic senator, while yet another reportedly told Politico that the Democratic leadership were in “an impossible position” because they couldn’t risk the optics of having to replace her.
Feinstein told Politico in an interview that she was “surprised and taken aback” by suggestions she was incapable of serving in her role, saying “my attendance is good, I do the homework, I try to ask hard questions. I stand up for what I believe in.”
“Let me say this — I know it’s going to be a fight. I understand that,” said Feinstein, reports the news agency. “I don’t have a lot of tools to use, but I’m going to use what I have. We can try to delay and obstruct but they can run this process through. That doesn’t mean that we won’t fight tooth and nail.”

Maybe if the nominee were Chinese?
You note that Democrats don’t know how to turnover power. Pelosi, Feinstein, Biden, Her Thighness, Nadler, Ginsberg (until last week), on and on. I wonder what the average age of a Democrat leader is...
If the Democrats attack Barrett, they risk losing votes.
If the Democrats let Barrett be confirmed too easily, they risk pissing off their base.
“Feinstein told Politico in an interview that she was “surprised and taken aback” by suggestions she was incapable of serving in her role, saying “my attendance is good, I do the homework, I try to ask hard questions. I stand up for what I believe in.”
“I find idiots to put on a show of rape accusations that nobody in their right mind believes. I hire a driver who is a Chinese spy. What’s not to like?”
Thank God she’s utterly incompetent.
“Well,,,,maybe she hopes Stalin won’t use her eternally burning soul for a foot warmer.”
or maybe that’s what’s this has been about the entire time? lol
More like the Monarchy they shed a lot of blood and lives to free themselves from.
Wow, she actually understands her position. She's not as stupid and senile as I thought.
'on the condition of anonymity' because - like all Marxist autocracies - the 'Rat Party is monolithic - stray one bit and you are toast!
ONE VOTE against Trump impeachment by one Dem and where is that individual now? He is a 'pubbie!
Is she too OLD to handle this delicate situation?
No matter who the ranking member of the committee is, there is nothing that can be done to stop this train.
I don’t know what the hell they expect of her.
The appointment is already a done deal.
Maybe they expect her to scream and break some things...throw a real tantrum? Cause that’s all they’ve got.
Yes, a monarchy that may will require again blood and lives from which to free us.
History loves repetition, because people are stupid with short memories.
they don’t give up their power to anyone
...Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 87...
from the FRchives:
A Senator of the USA who had a Chinese driver for 20 +++ years......
Chinese (spy) driver for 20 years....
Commies should give her some award in a ceremony “For Commendably Salutary Service for the People’s Struggle Over American Oppression.”
With cash award of 678 Yuan (currently slightly over $100 US) plus a lovely medal showing Mao and Xi with cheering throng behind them. And a gift bag of exciting products made by slave laborers in China.
She’s 87? Cripes, don’t these creatures ever retire?
In some instances this is a good thing. For example => RBG.
Bye Bye ~ Di Fi!
Your liberal and ChiCom backers don’t want you anymore!
So, turn out your light, leave and shut the door behind you.
The only worthwhile statement Toobin has ever made.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin Slams Dianne Feinstein’s ‘Incredibly Inept’ Questioning At Amy Coney Barrett’s Previous Confirmation Hearing
And they want you to retire at 65...while they hang on to their corruption 20 years past that.
Feinstein and Pelosi make a great case fof term limits. On the republican side there’s McCain, McConnell, Romney, all well over 65 I think. All over 70 most likely.
