In historic first, US Supreme Court to hear arguments by phone.

"In keeping with public health guidance in response to COVID-19, the justices and counsel will all participate remotely," the court said. While many of the nation's courts are doing business this way, the Supreme Court has never before adopted the practice and will undoubtedly go through a period of adjustment to temper what is normally aggressive questioning by the justices.

Decisions in these cases will likely be issued during the current term, which normally ends in June. The court did not say whether the term might extend into July. The other cases from March and April that won’t be heard in May will be carried over to the next term. Oral argument normally concludes in April, so hearing cases in June could put extra pressure on the justices to decide those cases quickly. But Tom Goldstein, a Washington, D.C., lawyer who argues frequently before the court, said the term might not end in June.

"The justices normally want to get things done in June because they have plans for early July," including teaching and lecturing commitments, Goldstein said."This year, with the pandemic, those are all gone, so ironically there's less pressure to end the term quickly." Some of the other cases to be heard in May involve a dispute between the city of Philadelphia and a Catholic charity over the suitability of same-sex parents to provide foster care and the scope of a religious objection to providing contraceptive coverage under Obamacare.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.

Fauci has been wrong on everything to date about the coronavirus. Fauci's idea of issuing immunity cards is a disaster. Fauci is not an elected official. Fauci relied on grossly overstated coronavirus models. Fauci has contradicted himself about the severity of the coronavirus.

But allowing people to vote by mail - nope, that's a no-go.

If it is on par with all the other remote work thats going on, we are fucked.

So they send everyone out to vote in lines because there's nothing to worry about but they themselves need to take special precautions.
