Schumer hints at Senate Judiciary Committee shakeup after Barrett hearing criticism

Senate Judiciary Committee after Judge Amy Coney Barrett breezed through panel confirmation hearings last week.

Liberal groups and anonymous Senate Democrats have trashed the performance of the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, 87, after she failed to make any significant attempt to derail Barrett at the hearing.

“I’ve had a long, serious talk with Sen. Feinstein,” Schumer told reporters. “And that’s all I’m going to say about it.”

At one point during the hearing, Feinstein hugged Chairman Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina who is a staunch proponent of Barrett’s nomination.

The liberal group Demand Justice called for Feinstein to either step down voluntarily or for the Democratic leaders to remove her.
