Feinstein to step down from her leadership position on the Senate Judiciary Committee,” wrote Democrat-linked group ‘Demand Justice,’ adding “If Senate Democrats are going to get their act together on the courts going forward, they cannot be led by someone who treats Sunrise activists with contempt and the Republican theft of a Supreme Court seat with kid gloves.”

GRAHAM IN CONTROL: Sen. Graham Elected as Chair of Senate Judiciary Committee
Senator Lindsey Graham was officially elected as the newest chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee this week; taking control from Sen. Chuck Grassley who announced last year he would be stepping down in January.
“I’m honored to be selected as chairman of the Judiciary Committee,” Graham said in a separate news release. “I will do my best to continue down the path charted by Senator Grassley of having a fair and vibrant committee process.”
“The confirmation of conservative judges will be one of my top priorities as chairman,” he added.
Graham confirmed Wednesday that he plans to launch investigations into allegations the FBI and other agencies illegally surveilled the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein will remain as the ranking Democrat on the committee.
