Decision comes even after the Senate was ordered to recess after three senators tested positive for COVID-19
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Saturday the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett will go forward as planned despite the president, first lady, numerous senators and White House staffers testing positive for coronavirus in the past 24 hours.
"According to the standing rules of the U.S. Senate, committees may convene regardless of whether or not the Senate is in session," Graham said in a statement. "The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will proceed with the consideration of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States on Oct. 12, 2020."
The decision comes after President Trump announced Friday he had tested positive for the coronavirus and was later admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for precautionary care.

Let’s get on with it. No delays should be allowed.
We already know all Democrats will vote no. Schumer said it’s an illegitimate process, so all Democrats will say they voted no because of protesting the process.
I heard lindsy is a white supremacist! Prove me wrong.
Friend who listens to Glenn Beck said when he heard about Graham’s long date he said “That’s so distant. This is 2020. Any huge news story could interfere by then. We could be all be speaking an alien space visitor language by then.”
He wasn’t far off. What “surprise” is next?
Good! Wish it would start THIS week though... the sooner the better.
Screw that. Go straight to a vote. They just questioned her a couple years ago. Besides, since several democommies refuse to meet with her, too bad.
Ditto that
Bump! the sooner the better
Do it by Zoom if you have to. ACB must be confirmed before Nov 3. Period.
“He wasn’t far off. What “surprise” is next?”
Rosie O’Donnell will admit to agreeing with President Trump on a policy.
If that happens we will have to watch the skies for imminent alien invasion. "Too far out" as the old time Biden era hippies used to say.

The committee is all going to come down with the Chicom virus, then what? Will Mitch just move to the vote? I doubt it.
Because of the SCOTUS’s recent rejection of ten second amendment cases...
Because restrictions on the second amendment costs innocent lives...
And because public safety is the #1 job of government...
The senate should immediately hold a vote.
Whatever it takes.
Online hearings. Online votes.
Get her confirmed BEFORE election.
Agree with you except for “all” committee members——just the GOP ones will get it. Otherwise are feeling just fine like Biden and Chris Wallace. They can send cheery email notes to Christy,Kellyanne, 3 GOP US Senators and others.
exactly why not have started already since the socialist , power driven turds will not meet with her
“despite the president, first lady, numerous senators”
FOX is gone. I don’t where the they found Vandana Rambaran but I don’t think The First Lady has a role.
Dem senator from WV voting for ACB
Republican Senator Johnson from Wisc just tested positive. How are they going to vote???
