Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will take part in this week's confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett remotely from her Senate office, a spokesperson said on Sunday, citing Republicans' response to a recent coronavirus outbreak.

"Due to Judiciary Committee Republicans' refusal to take commonsense steps to protect members, aides, Capitol complex workers, and members of the media, Senator Harris plans to participate in this week's hearings remotely from her Senate office in the Hart building," said Chris Harris, a spokesman for the Democratic senator.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to start four days of hearings for Barrett on Monday. Senators have the option of participating remotely, though the judge is expected to testify in person. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has also said he will oversee the hearing in person.

Harris said earlier Sunday that "Chairman Graham and Senate Republicans are endangering the lives of not just members and our staff, but the hardworking people who keep the Senate complex running" by morning forward with the hearings.

4. The quorum is necessary for a vote, not the hearings perhaps?

I am so glad that she isn’t going in, after most likely getting exposed to Covid by the lousy Pence.

5. She paints a picture of filth and dirtiness with republicans.

I love it!

Thank you Kamala Harris for saying what needs to be said.

6. The courts that Hitler allowed

after he came to power look surprisingly like the packed courts at the federal level that the trump administration has been engineering for the last 3 years plus. They do expect to remain in power by stealth, Supreme Court, or outright theft of our election by an RW trumpistan army of dangerously ignorant trumpanzies. I don't think this election will be without unprecedented violence. This perpetrated by the leaders and army of the GOP, trump and the complete amerikkkan RW.
