[quote=Anonymous]Its cancelled, gone, finito.

The SCOTUS nominee would need to appear in-person before the Senate Judiciary committee for hearings for a minimum of two weeks.

We still don't have confirmation that Amy Coney Barrett and/or her family members aren't currently quarantined for 14 days due to exposure to up 7 Covid-19 positives at the Rose Garden ceremony.

On top of that 2 of the GOP Senators on the Judiciary Committee are Covid-19 positive (Tillis and Lee) - so in a vote of 10 Republicans against 10 Democrats and 2 independents to pass the contentious nomination out of hearings the GOP just lost TWO key votes. So they don't have the numbers to get her to a vote.

No hearings starting ASAP also means the Senate is blocked from voting for Barrett in its entirety because they're all going on recess in the two-week period before the election. McSally, a Senate hopeful, is tipped to win in the 2020 elections as well so that means post-election the Senate would not vote her through to SCOTUS.

So...no confirmation. No SCOTUS Covid Amy.[/quote]
