Following the conclusion of the Senate Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue denounced committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein.
Hogue wrote that Feinstein failed to acknowledge the opinions of majorities that "have said unequivocally that they want to choose the next President" to fill the absence created by the death of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September.
"This nomination is illegitimate and this process is a sham," Hogue wrote. "Tens of millions of Americans have already voted and majorities have said unequivocally that they want to choose the next President who should fill this seat. Amy Barrett and this power grab pose a grave threat to every freedom and right we hold dear and tears the very fabric of our democracy."
Following the hearings, Feinstein said, "This has been one of the best Senate hearings that I've participated in, and I want to thank you for your fairness and the opportunity of going back and forth."
