People are criticizing Senator Diane Feinstein for thanking Lindsay Graham for holding a fair hearing for Judge Barrett. I am no fan of the nominee, and I feel that her addition to the bench will set rights in this country back decades, but I feel that the criticism of Senator Feinstein is unfair.
Every Senator on the committee had time to make their case. They were not badgered or uninterrupted.
Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island gave a detailed presentation on corruption in the selection process for federal judges. The Chairman let him give his presentation in full. It is now part of the public record.
Senator Feinstein praised Senator Graham for holding an open forum, which it was. She should not be disparaged in a fit of partisan tribalism.
