Amid rush to confirm Barrett to court 2 key Republican senators test positive for covid-19.
2 Republican senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Tom tales of North Carolina, and I was Friday that they had tested positive for covid 19. Both are members of the Senate Judiciary committee, which are scheduled to hold hearings to confirm President champs Supreme court nominee Amy Coney Barrett later this month.
Senator Lee said in a tweet that he would have self isolate for the next 10 days, but assured, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and Senate judicial chairman Lindsey Graham that he would "be back to work, in time to join my a judicial committee colleagues", is advancing the nomination.
Honest to God the whole Senate needs to quarantine themselves for the sake of this whole year. Democrats and Republicans alike need to do it.
