the one about the Con's tax returns. Not sure if the reason is Covid-19 (as stated) or the Hawaiian retired judge's letter?

1. Wait, what letter?

I'll have to do some investigating. Will we ever see those returns? Damn it!

9. Okay thanks!

That was everything. Intense. I skimmed through it a few nights back, and had forgotten.

3. It's a MUST read!

I'm sure a more tech savvy DUer will post it for you. Nutshell: Retired federal judge quit the bar and called out Roberts for being a political hack and damaging SCOTUS.

5. It Wasn't The Letter

Roberts just thought "Fuck you, I'm a Supreme Court Justice."

6. Are any of the justices currently ill?

That would be the most likely reason. Someone critical to the vote can't be in attendence. No, not rbg, probably one of the republicans. Otherwise roberts wouldn't have held up hearings. He may have felt he was losing a critical vote, and rbg wouldn't be it.

7. One of the Cons has corona?

10. Exactly the right thing to do.

Apparently some DUers think it would be fine and dandy for Justice Ginsburg to be out and about rather than self quarantining.

Good grief people., Think before you post.

12. Seriously!! RBG must be monitored and kept safe.

13. Best source is SCOTUS.

They're suspending arguments for all the cases in a certain time frame.

"All the cases for the upcoming session" is more informative than "several cases" and resolves the question.
