AD“It’s time for Sen. Feinstein to step down from her leadership position on the Senate Judiciary Committee,” Brian Fallon, the executive director of Demand Justice, said in a statement. ADA spokesperson for Feinstein referred The Washington Post to the senator’s explanation of why she planned to vote against Barrett’s confirmation. “Judiciary Committee Democrats had one goal this week: to show what’s at stake under a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court – and we did that,” Feinstein said in a statement Thursday. She did not, for example, put up much of a battle against Graham when the committee was not at quorum, they pointed out. “I don’t care that Feinstein and Graham are friends,” wrote Susan Hennessey, executive editor of the Lawfare blog.
