Feinstein seeks to slow Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday she’s lodged a number of requests for more information from Judge Neil Gorsuch before the panel considers his Supreme Court nomination.

Ms. Feinstein sent Judge Gorsuch a letter last Wednesday asking whether he played a role during his time in the Justice Department on ten high-profile cases, including Guantanamo Bay detainees, U.S. torture policy, partial birth abortion and warrantless wiretapping.

Judge Gorsuch was principal deputy associate attorney general from 2005 to 2006.

Mrs. Feinstein also asked Judge Gorsuch to list significant cases, policies and initiatives where he "assisted in the development and implementation." And she sent a separate letter asking about his involvement with the Republican National Lawyers Association and the association’s Judicial Confirmation Task Force.

Judge Gorsuch is expected to appear before the committee for his confirmation hearing on March 20.

#1 Di has a problem with judges who are not down with killing babies and incarcerating terrorists.

I'm not in the legal field, but that doesn't sound like the sort of thing that's the purview of a judge.

#5 Feinstein along with all other Senate Dems voted for Judge Gorsuch for the 10th Circuit Appeals Court? Are they just being obstructionists now?
