Schumer urges McConnell to delay Supreme Court hearing amid coronavirus outbreak: 'It's not safe'
Fox News ^ | October 04 2020 | Megan Henney

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’s not safe”...for DIMocRATs to have ANY position of authority or power. All DIMocRATs should self-exile this afternoon. It would be for the good of the country...and civilization, in general.

I agree that it isn't safe for ANY group of Representatives or Senators to meet in person, in any office, restaurant, or other indoors chamber in Washington DC. It's time for our Federal legislature to own up to their own drivel and change their procedures to socially distance themselves.

Not only from each other but particularly socially distance themselves from K Street. Indeed, they need to stay in the districts that voted for them, not in DC.

Not to mention own up to the Tenth Amendment, but that's an equine of a different hue.

Maybe it would be “safe” if they had to stand in hula hoops like the dozen nitwits at a jill biden (”doctor”, that is) rally earlier today? Just sayin’...

Everything Dems do is not safe.

WHEN they're not in power.

The moment that changes, then it is:

Remember, there were NO SCANDALS during the Obama administration (thanks to a willing, compliant bed-partner/media...)

Fine. Skip the hearings altogether and go straight to a vote because the hearings would just be delay, delay, delay anyway.

You can riot, you can loot, you can shop, steal, rob, murder... but Democrats can’t teach school or govern.

That’s about the size of it! And.... you can’t vote in person!

Amy Kobuchar says "Wait until after the elections, because it will be safer then."

Does she know something we don't know? Is Dr. Fauci going to give the ALL CLEAR the day after the elections?
