Sen. Harris: Every member on the Judiciary Committee must be tested for COVID-19 before hearing

[bigtree]

Kamala Harris @SenKamalaHarris
Every member on the Senate Judiciary Committee must be tested for COVID-19 before the Supreme Court confirmation hearings start on Monday.

Kamala Harris @SenKamalaHarris 20h
Today I joined @SenatorLeahy and @SenBooker in demanding that all senators on the Judiciary committee get tested for COVID-19 ahead of the Supreme Court hearings.

This is the bare minimum to ensure the safety of members, our staff, and the Senate complex employees.

Kamala Harris @SenKamalaHarris Oct 5
Moving forward with SCOTUS confirmation hearings in exactly one week threatens the health and safety of members, our staff, and the hardworking people who keep the Senate complex safe, clean, and operational.

This is completely reckless. Chairman Graham must delay the hearings.

1. YES

2. If not, the Dems should

Go in full hazmat suit + N95 mask and a sign on the back of the suit "Lundsey Graham took this away from an essential worker".
On the shoulders and Lapel area "Get Tested", "Be Responsible" and "Quarantine until tested and cleared".

4. If Republicans are refusing to get tested, Dems should just stay home.

3. They're right. It is reckless to ask anyone to risk death for a political meeting.

It seems almost certain that among those who have been exposed, there is at least one asymptomatic person who has tested positive and does not want to admit it. There's no other reason in the world why they would refuse to take COVID tests. None.

5. Will they have quorum if the Democrats don't show?

6. Lindsey doesn't care and he will just change the Committee rules to accommodate the number

That's how they roll these days. Don't like the rules? Change 'em.

My guess is that Lindsey is positive (or fears that he is) and doesn't want anything to get in the way of cramming this woman onto the court.

7. Graham delay? Surely you jest.

And take a test? Why would he do that? It would hurt him, so no way. Dems should boycott the hearings (can they do that?).

[BComplex]

8. I don't trust Lindsay Graham to be truthful about his test results.

I don't trust him one bit.
