Court Packing in Progress
Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing opened with pretty clear battle lines about the timing of the hearings so close to the election, the impending threat to health care (which is a broader election theme), and of course, some idiotic tweets from Trump that were quickly discounted, even by his own party. Here’s the latest from CNN.
+ Sen. Mike Lee, Recently Infected With Coronavirus, Attends Confirmation Hearing. (And spoke without a mask.)
+ Lindsey Graham Insists Amy Coney Barrett Hearing Is ‘Safe’ After Refusing to Take COVID Test.
+ WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows refuses to talk to reporters without his mask off. (Wanton idiocy is Covid-20.)
