WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Saturday that all Senate floor activity would be rescheduled until after October 19, but committee work, like the confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, would continue. “Previously-scheduled floor activity will be rescheduled until after October 19th... The important work of the Senate’s committees can and will continue as each committee sees fit,” McConnell said in a statement.Reporting by Idrees Ali; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama

Sure glad they don’t care about the pandemic that has their leader in The hospital and they continue on.... THEY ARE NOT SERVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THEIR STATE THEY ARE SERVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ONLY..... VOTE EVERY INCUMBENT OUT OF OFFICE
Yeah, they're too sick to do the peoples business, but they can sure jam through a nominee the people don't want.
McConnell's blatant irresponsible un-statesman like behavior seems to have no limits.
Nothing is more important than getting another right-wing pimp on the court. So some people get sick. So some people die. Who cares?
So basically they will do even less work than normal and still find a way to stick it to america. Nice.
This is the least ethical and legitimate senate and presidency in history. We have sunk to a banana republic.
Now he wears a mask!
The utter contempt Republicans show towards the American voter 30 days out from the election, while people are actively voting.

Vulnerable Republicans back Senate Democrats' bill opposing Obamacare lawsuitSenate Democrats' largely symbolic bid to cut off the Trump administration's support for a Supreme Court challenge to Obamacare failed as expected Thursday, but several Republicans facing tough reelections crossed party lines to back the measure Democrats need to explain where federal funds over the years were not used to help improve impoverished conditions in major cities that breed outrageous crimes if they want to appear as honest and trustworthy leaders who will do better if elected. Screw these losers. Trump can still be a great president even with a Dem senate. If Supreme Court Justices have any integrity at all they won't trash Obamacare just because Trump hates Barack Obama.
