That's just fucked up. Is he trying to egg them into walking out? They should shut him down.

But John Cornyn is right in position there to pick up a nice blast of virus.

It looked to me line Feinstein was there for chrissakes. Is Patrick Leahy still on this committee?

I hope Kamala Harris isn't anywhere near here.

Here is bemoaning that the Supreme Court should be the one branch that is beyond politics, while he's speaking at an event that is unfair and will be voted along partisan lines.

But, what do you expect from a man who tested positive just a week ago, showing up at a crowded event.

So, yes, it's a super spreader event.

(whether they really are or not) has reinforced the idea that this disease isn't any worse than the flu, that if you get it, it's no big deal.

There's also the fact that republicans are rude, inconsiderate jerks.
