Sen. Feinstein Draws Criticism from Democrats for Role in Senate’s Supreme Court Justice Hearings

Sen. Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday he had a “serious talk” with
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, following last week’s
confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
Schumer refused to defend the former San Francisco mayor, amid
calls from liberal groups for her to step down as the top Democrat
on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Some on the left have criticized
Feinstein for being too accommodating during last week’s
controversial hearing, which concluded with her praising Committee
Chairman Lindsey Graham and hugging him without a mask. We’ll talk
with KQED politics correspondent Marisa Lagos about the
controversy.
