Take Note of How Dems Are Flipping the Script on Virtual Hearings

[livingston]

Now that three Republican Senators – Mike Lee (UT), Thom Tillis (NC) and Ron Johnson (WI) – have turned up positive for the Wuhan coronavirus, Democrats are changing their narrative on virtual hearings. Back when the pandemic began, Democrats worked overtime to make sure that committee hearings could be done remotely as a means of protecting individual members of Congress
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made the argument that holding confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett "endangers the safety" of members and staffers who work on the Hill
But when virtual hearings (like Zoom) are brought up, Schumer and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), say that's not an option.

Schumer on Barrett: The idea of having virtual hearings where no one is with the witness for the highest court in the land for a life appointment that would have such effect on people's lives makes no sense. A virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all.

seen a post .. where some politicians were sick and ill and they wheeled them in so they can vote ... back in the days ..

" Outside advisers working on the confirmation have suggested a system in which the committee vote would be held in the Senate chamber, with ill senators voting from the visitors’ galleries above the floor so they can maintain distance. Yet GOP aides have yet to discuss that option.
For now, Republicans are promising to press forward — virus or not, healthy or infected.
“I think every senator who has currently tested positive or is in isolation will be back to work, under normal conditions” by later this month, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Sunday on Fox News. But if not, Cotton said “there is a long tradition of . . . ill or medically infirm senators being wheeled in to cast critical votes on the Senate floor.”

They will somehow twist this situation so that they cannot vote and therefore declare her appointment invalid.

I call this liberal logic.
Then just send them there and keep them 12-15 feet away from others. That will get ther attention.
