Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer and the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee Sen. Dianne Feinstein called on Senate Republicans to delay Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s hearing after a member of the committee tested positive for COVID-19.
“It is premature for Chairman [Lindsey] Graham to commit to a hearing schedule when we do not know the full extent of potential exposure,” Mr. Schumer and Ms. Feinstein said in a statement released Friday.
Their announcement comes after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said the Senate would continue to process the president’s nominee this month. Mr. McConnell said he spoke to President Trump Friday, who was in good spirits despite testing positive for the coronavirus.
Judge Barrett met with the president last weekend and has since been on Capitol Hill meeting with senators — including Sen. Mike Lee, Utah Republican, who tested positive for the virus on Friday.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, has scheduled the confirmation hearing to begin Oct. 12. It is anticipated a full Senate confirmation vote could come by the end of the month, before the Nov. 3 election.
Mr. Graham’s office has not announced whether the confirmation hearing would be virtual due to the coronavirus.
Mr. Schumer and Ms. Feinstein said safety should guide the hearing schedule since Mr. Lee tested positive.
They also said there’s bipartisan agreement that a virtual confirmation hearing is not acceptable.

Of course. Evil creatures.
Effincommies
Do it via ZOOM or make the questions written. Problem solved. Especially for a nominee already vetted and questioned extensively by this same committee.
“The business of the Senate must go on.”
I say the same thing to them that I said in a letter to the Aldine, Tx School board. “Work or don’t get paid. If you don’t work, lay of staff. Then refund my taxes.”
Four years of demicomm obstruction and they continue to serve themselves rather than the people that pay their salary. Fire their asses!
Remember when they didn’t show up in person to vote and made special arrangements to do it virtually....they can so it for Barrett’s confirmation as well...they just don’t want to.
Sheckie and China Di can sit and spin.
We’ve been using M$ Teams at my work for months. All meetings on Teams. It’s working quite well. These embicils can’t use Zoom or Teams to continue moving the cogs? They act like the technology doesn’t exist to adapt and function.
And sadly, there are long-time Freepers who think believing this was an assassination attempt is crazy talk. How many important Republicans have it now? Wake the heck up. At least Samantha Marika is brave enough to Tweet it. She’s the one PDJT tweeted a few weeks ago.
How is spraying one’s seat with “disinfectant” spray such a leap? Demoncrats are indeed willing to kill. Just ask 75-100 Clinton victims...Ron Brown, Epstein, etc.

nope
not gonna work
dont show up then
Exactly and for Feinstein and Schumer to specifically use this when they are were not holding the hearings until the 12th so it is possible they would have recovered this things smells. I think they were targeting Barret too but she had already had the virus and recovered previously which I dont think they knew.
The House has been voting virtually due to covid I beleive.
Funny how the Dems always overplay their hand. It has been obvious fk everyone that the response to COVID has been purely political. Ole Chucky confirms it.
