Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said "it's not safe" for the Senate Judiciary Committee to move forward with hearings for President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee amid a coronavirus outbreak that's infected three Republican senators.

"If it’s not safe for the Senate to meet in session, it’s not safe for the hearings to go forward," Schumer, D-N.Y., said during a Sunday press conference.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Saturday said the Senate would not meet as planned this week after Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, Thom Tillis, R-N.C. and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend.

It required the US Supreme Court in 2000 to stop the Florida Court of Misfits from stealing the Presidential Election for Gore.

The Dems are after a 4-4 SC, so that they can get away with it, this time.

Perhaps a squishy SC justice might let a lower court decision stand, 4-4, rather than forcibly control the decision 5-4 against their usual leanings.

I am becoming convinced that RBG’s “death” was arranged to give them this, by keeping her on “ice” as long as possible, but not too long.

Graham said they could do “virtual” hearings so Schmucky should be out of luck with the “it’s not safe” excuse. Comey was allowed to testify via Zoom ...

Frankly, I think it would be better for ACB if the Dementiacrats were virtual ... the in-person nastiness she’s got to face might be blunted somewhat.

“it’s not safe” for the Senate Judiciary Committee to move forward with hearings for President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee”

Precisely why the Rats had it released. Is anyone surprised here? I read Freepers commenting last week saying something is going to happen to prevent her confirmation and here it is plain as a day.

The democrats don’t need to be there to vote for ACB. We have 53 Republican senators, and Pence; 51 Senators make a quorum. The country would be better off if the Dems never showed.

This “crises” has fallen into their laps and we’re all well aware of how the America/American-hating Democrat/Communist/Left Party feels about a crisis ... any and all crises ...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wants to delay it and will claim anything on Earth as a pretext for doing so.

His requests are invalid.

They need to be ignored.
