So three Republican senators now have it.

[BlueStater]

With possibly more to come.

Think the SC hearings/vote will be delayed now?

[mucifer]

1. nah they will vote remotely from their death bed if need be

[hlthe2b]

9. the Senate (unlike the House) DOES NOT ALLOW for remote voting.

[mucifer]

10. the efwads control the senate. Can't they just change their rules?

[hlthe2b]

11. When the House changed, it was brought up and slammed down.

[Fozzledick]

16. So now they need a majority to be present to change the rule requiring a majority to be present...

... to change the rule requiring a majority to be present to change the rule!!

Caught in their own web, tangled by their own tongues, hoisted by their own petard.

(Historical note: petard (French) = "little fart", an early hand grenade with an unstable detonator that often exploded at random, throwing its' carrier up into the air.)

2. Mitch will probably allow remote voting -- just this once -- so the confirmation can continue.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Rules? What rules?

[Fozzledick]

13. Catch-22

[Jersey Devil]

4. If Dems stay away there would be no quorum

They need 51 Senators for a quorum.

Also, if both Repubs on the judiciary comm are out with Covid there is no Repub majority to move it out of committee. You cannot vote remotely in the Senate as you can in the House.

[Trumpocalypse]

5. Maybe Schumer should call the vote

when they lose a few more. Lol

[superpatriotman]

6. What do you call three repuke senators with Covid?

A good start.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. A very good start

[Ilsa]

7. The new positives need to be spaced out.

Several every week over the next two months.

[Marius25]

12. No, they'll drag themselves in on a gurney

just to vote. Or McConnell will finally hold virtual votes. 4 Republicans would have to die or be extremely ill to block the vote.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

14. Hearings will be held to spite the liberals. Warning to Dems--

..social distancing, hand washing and perhaps gloves are needed when in close contact with evil repubs. Maybe garlic, a cross and silver spike will be needed just in case they get to close. .

On a serious note--worldmeterus

any more of them come up with positive tests/symptoms.
