2. She should, and any normal person would insist on it.

Mitchy McTurtle is an evil fuck. I bet he tries to ram her through and won’t think twice about how many people could potentially be exposed to her.

4. With all of her kids and no one wearing a mask! Too tired to post pics

But they’re out there. Her, King Covid, and 7 youngsters all 2 or 3 feet apart, maskless.
She then went to Capitol Hill and met with McConnell, Pence, others. No masks.
Wish it wasn’t so hard to post pics here, too sleepy for the process.

5. The judicial committee will forgo hearings and vote for her nomination to proceed

They'll say the 2017 confirmation hearings were good enough. The Republicans know that most likely Biden is going to win--and maybe even win big. They also know that there is a good chance the Senate flips. Given that, they have nothing to lose.

Next years Democratic Congress and President will have to determine what they are going to do about it.

How they react will be a defining moment for our post-Trump government.

Hearings aren't actually required, and this would provide a useful distraction to quietly hold the vote and approve the nomination in short order.
