Barrett Confirmation Firestorm Begins Today.
“The hearings will serve as a touchstone for the bases of both parties, highlighting the potential of a hard-right turn that could last for decades in areas such as abortion, religious liberty, LGBTQ rights and the Second Amendment, distracting voters from the realities of Covid-19 and leaving liberals to contemplate new tools, including adding seats to the Supreme Court, to staunch their wounds.”
If the expedited hearings on this confirmation will backfire on Republicans remains to be seen. In the meantime many are concerned with Sen. Feinstein’s ability to withstand the pressure from the Senate majority to get this nominee on the bench before the election. Hopefully she will rise to the challenge!
