SCOTUS Confirmation Hearings in Peril before election?

[greenjar_01]

Seems like it's something to consider...

[people]

1. SCOTUS . . .

Does his SCOTUS nominee also need to quarantine now?

[greenjar_01]

3. They were all hugs and kisses in the West Wing a few days ago, no?

How are they gonna hold hearings on October 22?

2. Depends... but they had no time to spare even if all went smoothly.

Trump getting COVID might get some delays in there that might delay the process till after election. But who knows, McConnell probably doesn't care about Trump anyways and keep everything going.

5. I mean, you're assuming he doesn't actually get sick

[Claustrum]

8. The nomination is already done. It's now up to the senate to do their approval process

Trump getting COVID doesn't prevent or slow McConnell from doing his thing.......

[greenjar_01]

9. Yeah, if Trump's laid up on a ventilator, I don't see hearings going forward

4. The candidate herself may be in peril.

Who knows how many maskless republicans she's met recently.

[greenjar_01]

6. Right

[BainsBane]

7. A potential silver lining. nt

10. if McConnell and some of the other Republicans were exposed or test positive

I could see that as a possibility.

11. By cdc guidlines, if McConnel was in that meeting the other day heis required to quarantine

for 14 days.
