1. She's generally incompetent.
2. It's not just politics. It's basic decency. Graham is a liar and hypocrite who, along with his GOP colleagues, are putting an activist on the Court.
If she is not up to the job, she can get voted out next time. Does anyone even try to challenge her in the primaries? Graham is just fulfilling his duties as committee chair. It would be irresponsible for the Senate not to give the president's nominee a fair hearing.
Yes someone challenged her in the primaries. And tried to point out that she would be 92 years old at the end of her term. But the Democratic Party machine in California supported her and people thought she would have the seniority advantages awarded to Senator since she’s been a Senator for so long. They need to get rid of the seniority preferences which gives people an incentive to keep these dinosaurs in office long after they are effective in their office.
And funny enough, the establishment (Newsom, Garcetti, Harris and the like) went against the activists and organizers in the California Democratic Party. The CA Dems backed De Leon, but the politicians hit De Leon where it really mattered, the donors.

Chuck Schumer refused to defend Sen. Dianne Feinstein over calls from progressive groups for her removal as top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, with the Senate minority leader divulging he had a “long and serious talk” recently with the California senator.
Senate Democrats are grappling with how to handle Feinstein’s future role on the panel. Liberal groups say Feinstein was far too accommodating to Republicans during last week’s confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. And while Democrats tread carefully in public on Tuesday, refusing to criticize the 87-year-old Feinstein — the first woman to serve as ranking member on Judiciary — her loudest supporters were actually Republicans.

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

She was forced to disclose Ford.
Of. Ourselves she was. Do you think Ford was some brilliant, believable source like Watergate’s “Deep Throat” who changed the course of history?
She couldn’t even tell the truth about currently renting part of her house to interns much less re-imagining an incident from her teen years
