Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Monday that Senate Republicans should require testing for senators and staff if they will not delay a Supreme Court hearing scheduled to start next week, amid an outbreak of coronavirus cases.

"Instead of engaging in continuously more absurd and dangerous behavior, Chairman Graham should halt this already illegitimate nomination process, and if he refuses, he must put into place a thorough testing procedure that is in accordance with CDC best practices before hearings can take place," Schumer said in a statement.

After Kavanaugh no one gives a crap what you want, Chuckie.

Elections have consequences. Now it's time to shove that down your throat.

No way. I’m sure they can either pass corona to whomever they want or fake the test. Why would they trust the demon rats to not do whatever it takes to stop this vote.

The left sure is acting like they are in a panic. Could it be that they know a court that isn’t activist will kill most of their plans? But then again, I already know that answer.

Millions are working remotely and yet the assholes insist Senators being physically present in the Senate chamber to cast a vote. Total hypocrisy... and the gutless Stupid Party never says a word.

Chuck U, since August my high-risk hubby has been going to work at his place of business instead of telecommuting.

Tens of millions of Anericans have been reporting to work all along.

Get your a$$ to work, you gutless wonder.

The DEMS would have a more difficult time to plot and scheme if they are on Zoom.

“”Tell schumer to put a mask on””

Yep, if they “work” for us, then mask should be no problem.

They don’t have to MEET in person they can MEET virtually why in the hell would you have to be tested to sit in your living room or kitchen?? The fact that they are pushing this so heavily justifies my thoughts on this being done deliberately!!
