Your racism is showing.

I remember white women complaining about all the old white men during the Kavanaugh hearings. According to them this was the cause for Kavanaugh getting on the court. Feinstein was confused and lacked the will to fight during that hearing. This week she continued her show her real colors. Many times it seem Democrats activists would rather attack old white men vs actually getting results. While the “moderate” Democrats are too worried about civility, rules of the senate, being called a leftist and upsetting the republicans.


She has undercut Democrats' position at every step of this process, from undermining calls for filibuster and Court reform straight through to thanking Republicans for the most egregious partisan power grab in the modern history of the Supreme Court."

"If Senate Democrats are going to get their act together on the courts going forward, they cannot be led by someone who treats Sunrise activists with contempt and the Republican theft of a Supreme Court seat with kid gloves.”

Typical Dem. The republicans are packing the court and stealing SC for the next 30 years. Here is what the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee does.

Chairman, I just want to thank you," Feinstein said in her closing statement. "This has been one of the best set of hearings that I've participated in and I want to thank you for your fairness and the opportunity of going back and forth."

"It leaves one with a lot of hopes, a lot of questions, and even some ideas of perhaps some good bipartisan legislation we can put together to make this country even better. So thank you so much for your leadership."
Graham replied: "I know we have very different views about the judge and whether we should be doing this or not. But having said all that, to my Democratic colleagues, you have challenged the judge, you have challenged us, and I accept those challenges as being sincere and not personal."

Mean while Biden said he is not a fan of packing the court. What will the Dems fight for? Oh the Democrats are too radical...lol. Try push overs.

I completely agree with this.

This. I find it refreshing to see civility from both sides of the aisle during such a contentious time. Good for them.

Civility? Fine.

Hugs for a hypocrite? F that.

Plus Jamie Harrison refused to debate Lindsey Graham until he got a Covid test. Graham refused so no debate. And then frigging Dianne Feinstein gives him a hug masked.

Nope. Civility is being polite, not insulting each other, etc. You don't compliment the Chair and give him a big old hug when his party is screwing yours in the way the Republicans are screwing the Democrats.

Yes!

She complimented him on how he ran the hearing or some such. I mean, she just erased everything the dems worked on these past 3 days. Also, we desperately need him to lose re-election. She shouldn’t be complimenting him!

Plus...WTF?? COVID!!

Dianne's been showing signs of dementia. It's the worst-kept secret on the Hill. It's very sad.

It is very obvious she is not all there. It is sad, but outrageous no one intervenes. She should not be in the Senate. Lots of them are too old, but this is ridiculous. Just glad she didn't make another dogma comment during the hearings

Politico and the New York Times both ran lengthy stories about whether Dianne was up to the job of leading the hearings last week. Conclusion-she’s easily confused and reporters know that aides have to correct her statements. I wrote when she was last up for election that she should be retiring and making way for someone more with it to take her place and was called ageist. But now what we have is a deterioration in her mental condition that makes it impossible to do her current job well.

Hugging Lindsey Graham without a mask...it just proves she has no clue what’s going on.

Agree. Something is going on and it's a mess. Frankly, anyone over 70 should seriously be thinking of moving on. And that includes Biden, Sanders, and Warren. And definitely includes Feinstein and Grassley who were born in gol darn NINETEEN THIRTY THREE. If they have their memory they are old enough to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor when they were children. It's insane.

Under no circumstances should Biden run for a second term.

Pelosi needs to go as well even though she has been masterful these last couple of months. Katie Porter can do the job just as well, if not better.

Honest question: What actions of Nancy's in the last couple of months do you view as masterful?

Opinions will vary on this, obviously, but I think her holding the line on the stimulus talks and putting Republicans on the hot seat. She gets Trump to go into a snit, Tweet that he's done negotiating, stock market tanks, Trump looks like a fool and tries to reverse course. McConnell publicly breaks from Trump's demands. And then she goes and schools Wolf Blitzer.

It's not a feeling. It's the truth, especially in the Senate.

However, members aren't as chummy as they were in the past. The widening political polarization is a real thing, too.

It is up to the citizens of California to recall her. She won her re-election in 2018, so she is there until she die or 2024 at the age of 92. Ridiculous

A law professor at one of the UCs tweeted tonight that California’s recall procedures under the California constitution do not apply to U.S. senators. So, in January, pressure on Schumer to change committee leadership and/or pressure for her to retire. Some secrets on the Hill need to be outed.
