Dianne Feinstein admits Democratic opposition to Brett Kavanaugh is all about abortion

Democrats don’t really care about documents from Brett Kavanaugh’s time working in the White House. Democrats only really care about Brett Kavanaugh’s opinion on abortion. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., gave that away.

The ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee wasn’t halfway through her remarks when she admitted that Roe v. Wade was the core problem here. After noting that Kavanaugh believes the landmark 1973 decision is “settled law,” Feinstein followed up with an admission, “The question is really: Do you believe that it’s correct law?” Feinstein and the other nine committee Democrats, in other words, won’t vote to confirm Kavanaugh unless the judge promises to rule the way they want on abortion.
