Can Congress object to Trump nominating ACB in his diminished capacity?

Wow. Father Jenkins, President of Notre Dame, just tested positive. He was at the Rose Garden ceremony for Amy Coney Barrett as well.

Ridiculous idea, OP.

GOP senators need to consult Trump at his residence about ACB. For confirmation purposes.

+1 Get Mitch in there.

Freaking Trumpers hugging everyone in sight. The only smart one is that military officer with a mask on at 00:15.

Phew, that was close. Republicans nearly got away with stealing another SCOTUS selection. A great break for America.

This is so odd to see. I’m in Maine, where we continue to have low numbers, and I haven’t hugged anyone but my immediate family since March. We do outdoor dinners with neighbors and see people I care about, but we do not hug anymore. I would felt so uncomfortable at that ACB event.

It would be cool if enough GOP senators got sick that the vote had to be postponed

SCOTUS nominees are tested daily. The fact that ACB hasn't announced a negative says a lot imho. iIf she announces she's positive, the GOP is finished.

She had covid over the summer. It's quite possible that she won't get it again, but unlikely that she is the superspreader.

I thought that too. I understand that the personalities who go into politics tend to be huggy, touchy people. But we've been in a pandemic for 6 months. Did they forget? Did they never notice?

If doesn't matter if she is a superspreader. If she is Covid-19 positive AGAIN she can kiss her SCOTUS seat goodbye.

The GOP has this weird belief that if they ignore the pandemic and act like it doesn't exist - it'll go away.

200,000 dead Americans say otherwise.

If she tests positive she is required to drop out.

Again - you can contract Covid-19 multiple times.

If ACB is positive, she will have to quarantine 14 days. That completely closes the window the Senate has to push her nomination through pre-election.

The two weeks BEFORE the election the Senate is in recess for the campaign trail.

After the election and if McSally (heavily favored) wins, the GOP won't have the majority it needs to vote her nomination through.

So - yeah - they're finished if she's down for the count.
