Two Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee announced Friday that they had tested positive for Covid-19, potentially jeopardizing the GOP's hopes of swiftly confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court if they were both to remain unable to vote in the full Senate through the end of the month.
Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced they'd tested positive -- just days after attending a White House event where President Donald Trump nominated Barrett.

There was a vote cast by proxy for the Kavanaugh confirmation. One particular Senator had to go to his daughter's wedding. Murkowski voted for him instead.

Yup. They could have actors re-enacting actual House and Senate proceedings for the tourists. Create more jobs. Win-Win.

Mostly Republicans and reporters.

How coincidental, Trump and others in his administration coming down with the china flu, presidential election in 30 days, rally’s off the hook for trump, hearings on supreme court judge.

I agree. It’s not coincidence.
It’s an arrow from vile Pelosi’s quiver.
A deep state arrow.

I for one do not believe in coincidences.

It’s not a coincidence. The Dems are desperate to remove Trump from office any way they can.

A few years ago I would call my suspicion a conspiracy. The last several years have taught me not to be shocked by anything.
