DEMS/NOMINATIONS/PLANNED PARENTHOOD/SUPREME COURT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “California Sen. Dianne Feinstein warned that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, who is set to be announced Monday [7-9-18], ‘could eviscerate women’s freedoms for generations…’ Feinstein, who appeared at an Oakland roundtable discussion held by California Planned Parenthood, acknowledged that with Republican control of the White House and Congress, the power of female voters may be ‘the only thing we have right now’ in the effort to counter Trump’s next appointment to the Supreme Court…While acknowledging that Democrats have few means to stop a Trump Supreme Court nominee, Feinstein said she is hopeful that women will make their voices heard on that issue in a critical year. ‘The day after the inauguration, women marched and came together by the millions,’ and women are running to office in record numbers this year, she told a crowd of Planned Parenthood activists here. ‘So for the first time, since I was elected — which was some time ago — we are totally poised to have another ‘year of the woman’ in November.'”
