Yesterday The Blaze<\/a> posted an article about some of the actions being taken in Congress to delay the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), the ranking member on the House Committee on House Administration has been urging Pelosi to implement<\/a> “a comprehensive health monitoring system and testing program for our Capitol Hill campus in order to help us do our part to stop the spread of coronavirus.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

But she has so far refused to take action, Scalise (House Minority Whip Steve Scalise) explained on “Fox and Friends.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I mean these protocols have been out there and the testing capabilities have been out there for a long time. They were offered to the speaker and she turned it down,” Scalise said. “I think it’s something that should have been in Congress for a few weeks now. But ultimately that’s what the speaker decided to do.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

In a joint statement on Friday<\/a>, Schumer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said “this already illegitimate process will become a dangerous one” if Barrett’s confirmation hearings are not temporarily delayed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It’s critical that Chairman [Lindsey] Graham put the health of senators, the nominee, and staff first \u2014 and ensure a full and fair hearing that is not rushed, not truncated, and not virtual,” Schumer and Feinstein said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday that Barrett’s confirmation hearings will proceed as scheduled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement, McConnell said he would seek<\/a> “consent agreement for the Senate to meet in pro forma sessions for the next two weeks.” If Democrats agree, Senate floor activity would be halted until at least Oct. 19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, McConnell said, Barrett’s confirmation process would be unaffected by any delay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is amazing that many Americans have been working from home for months using electronics for meetings and discussions and Congress is somehow not smart enough to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
