Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and a group of Democrats formally called for a delay in the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett until the presidential inauguration is over, suggesting that Democrats want to wait until the victor of the November election to replace late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat.
Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote to Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to challenge the planned Oct. 12 date for Barrett’s hearing. Feinstein argued that there is not enough time to rush the vetting process for Barrett.
