Democrats Furious As Dianne Feinstein Dismisses Packing Supreme Court
By Darragh Roche On 9/22/20 at 3:47 AM EDT

Democrats have reacted with anger after Senator Dianne Feinstein appeared to dismiss the idea of ending the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court.

Feinstein was asked about abolishing the filibuster which allows a senator to hold up the passage of legislation by speaking for hours at a time. The California Democrat ruled out getting rid of the filibuster as part of an effort to pack the Supreme Court.

"I don't believe in doing that. I think the filibuster serves a purpose. It is not often used, it's often less used now than when I first came, and I think it's part of the Senate that differentiates itself," Feinstein said.

At 80 she's finally staring eternity in the face, and maybe it has adjusted her attitude.
