In Santa Barbara on Sunday, Senator Dianne Feinstein warned that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s legal beliefs could shield Donald Trump, “a president who thinks he’s above the law.”
“We’re at an apex of presidential authority,” California’s senior U.S. senator told more than 200 people at the 48th annual luncheon of the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County, at the Four Seasons Biltmore, as she compared Trump and Kavanaugh's view of the presidency to that of “an oligarch.”
"This president believes he is above the law. And this nominee believes that the president cannot be investigated, cannot be tried, is actually supreme," she said. "And I find that is something that an oligarch would have, not an American president."
