Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, continues to be a tremendous waste of Senate space and one of the reasons why America Is Going To Hell Right Now.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the takeaway from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, which should not have been held due to multiple members of the Senate committee testing positive for a deadly disease. The hearings that were scheduled on such a rush basis, in order to beat the upcoming election, that the nominee for the Supreme Court appeared to have done absolutely no preparation for whatsoever, whether it was in the disclosure of past political advocacy, the review of her past legal opinions, or skimming through the Constitution of the United States a few times so that she could answer basic questions about what is in it. The hearings that did not require the nominee to take "notes" because there were no questions asked by the United States Senate that the nominee felt compelled to further contemplate or return with fuller answers on.
It was the best. Why can't we handle all impossibly consequential, history-altering nominations to the nation's highest court with no preparation and knock through them in two days? Maskless hugs all around!
It is as if the last few weeks have been stakeless theater, and the next 40 years will be as well.
Amazing. And yet not.
