When Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee about to plunge into an election-season Supreme Court confirmation battle, was asked in the Capitol recently what her strategy would be for the coming fight, she walked by silently, an aide offering that she had a meeting

As Republican and Democratic senators have taken to television and arranged news conferences in recent days to lay out the stakes and merits of President Donald Trump’s push to install Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the court, Feinstein has not been among them.

Story continues“What is different here is the heightened scrutiny and the fact, to a significant degree, that everything is on the line when it comes to this nomination,” said James P. Manley, who served as a senior aide to former Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who as the majority leader had to manage an aging Robert C. Byrd as chair of the Appropriations Committee. “The groups want blood. Democrats on and off the committee want a real fight.

Through an aide, she declined to be interviewed but said in a statement that “Democrats are doing all we can to stop this headlong rush toward confirmation.” Feinstein found herself uncomfortably at the center of that proceeding after it became public that she had received and kept secret for weeks a letter from a California professor, Christine Blasey Ford, accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault decades earlier. When the letter finally came out, after Kavanaugh’s initial confirmation hearings were already completed, members of both parties heaped criticism on Feinstein.

“Dianne Feinstein is not somebody who inspires any confidence whatsoever that there will be sufficient attention on an issue that should be a priority of a President Biden,” Fallon said. “In fact, she will probably be an enabler and an accomplice to the obstruction efforts that created all of these vacancies for Trump to fill in the first place.”

This time, Senate Democrats have taken some steps to keep Feinstein on the periphery as much as possible. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, has made himself the face of the opposition to Barrett with a barrage of news conferences, television interviews and appearances on the Senate floor. His top deputy, Sen.

Barrett to senators: Courts 'should not try' to make policySupreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett to tell senators that courts should not try to make policy decisions and aren’t designed to “right every wrong in our public life,” in remarks obtained by AP.

No 'dogma': Democrats walk tightrope on Barrett's faithDemocrats are treading carefully on religious faith as they prepare to question President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett I don’t recall questions about Judaism put to Kagan and Ginsburg.

Biden dodges court-packing questions as SCOTUS nomination moves forwardThe Biden campaign is dodging court-packing questions as the Supreme Court nomination moves forward. Republicans create hypothetical controversies to distract from their real controversies and the media immediately amplify them. Why don’t you find out when Trump lasted negative? Talk about the number of people he’s infected. Where are his staff and family. Are they infected? Repeat until hell freezes over. Court packing at the district, circuit courts and the Supreme Court is what McConnell and the Senate GOP literally did these past 4 years. DEM must 'balance' the courts. No need to ask Bodden, just ask the socialist communist party leader AOC. Biden’s puppet master
