Barring dramatic COVIDening in the Senate, ACB will be confirmed on schedule. Worst case for the GOP, they'll get 'er done in the lame duck session.

Mike Lee not even wearing a mask
Hopefully he douses Grassley with some COVID. Heck if he's able to douse Feinstein too I'll contribute to his next re-election campaign.
Judiciary Committee this morning?

What a ing piece of and what a piece of party.

At this point, Team Trump are intentional spreaders.
(Except for Ted Cruz, who is in self-quarantine and appearing remotely, after coming into contact with Mike Lee)
How long do you think people are infectious?

don't stop there
50M - 60M POS American deplorables will vote for Trash and other Repugs.
Those Americans contribute to making America ed and un able.

People who test positive for the virus but never develop symptoms over the following 10 days after testing are probably no longer contagious, but again there are do ented exceptions. So some experts are still recommending 14 days of isolation.
(Trump had a fever over the weekend.)
This Amy person is coming across like a . She’s giving that side eyes.
The Republicans keep saying cons utional right to confirm Barrett. If the only boundaries a senate majority is supposed to govern by are what the cons ution does and doesn't allow, don't complain about court packing if it happens.
She reminds me of Mic e Bachmann.

'breaking all precedents"
Twenty-nine times in American history there has been an open Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential election year, or in a lame-duck session before the next presidential inauguration. (This counts vacancies created by new seats on the Court, but not vacancies for which there was a nomination already pending when the year began, such as happened in 1835–36 and 1987–88.) The president made a nomination in all twenty-nine cases. George Washington did it three times. John Adams did it. Thomas Jefferson did it. Abraham Lincoln did it. Ulysses S. Grant did it. Franklin D. Roosevelt did it. Dwight Eisenhower did it. Barack Obama, of course, did it. Twenty-two of the 44 men to hold the office faced this situation, and all twenty-two made the decision to send up a nomination, whether or not they had the votes in the Senate.
...
Nineteen times between 1796 and 1968, presidents have sought to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in a presidential-election year while their party controlled the Senate. Ten of those nominations came before the election; nine of the ten were successful, the only failure being the bipartisan filibuster of the ethically challenged Abe Fortas as chief justice in 1968.
...
The bottom line: If a president and the Senate agree on a Supreme Court nominee, timing has never stopped them. By tradition, only when the voters have elected a president and a Senate majority from different parties has the fact of a looming presidential election mattered. When there is no dispute between the branches, there is no need to ask the voters to resolve one.
Norms or traditions would have been a better choice of words. The point stands that the GOP has been "packing the court" to do an end run around the will of the people to enact deeply unpopular policies from the bench.'breaking all precedents"
For the record, I'm cool with the fight over this being political. The judicial branch is political right down to its toes. It's a coequal branch of government.
Hard to call it coequal when it's about to overstep congress by invalidating the ACA.
Checks and balances. The Supreme Court gets to say what the law is.
you can see the sweat dripping off Graham's face. Shocker that he didn't want to get tested.
Factoid:
Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts were all on George W. Bush‘s legal team during the Florida 2000 recount.
God damn, Coney Barrett's voice is so shrill it makes Hillary Clinton's voice sound warm and likable.
