The news that three US senators have been diagnosed with coronavirus threatens to upend what was expected to be a relatively smooth confirmation of President Trump's third Supreme Court justice

If you didn't know this before, the last 72 hours should serve as a reminder that when it comes to the mechanics, the confirmation and the future of what happens in Congress this month, nothing is certain. That includes the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett before Election Day.

There is no reason it can’t still happen can’t wait for the supreme court nomination

Sana hindi n matuloy

Vote by zoom! There are senators and congress members that attend hearing by video chat. You’re all essential workers. Do your jobs!

Skip hearings go straight to floor vote

Nope we will still elect her into the supreme court..The Democrats can unleash all the chemical warfare on America they want to, but we will prevail and they will go down for treason along with CNN

Still on schedule

Confirmation is not 'upended' at all. Stop lying! When we read a CNN tweet, we assume the opposite. You people are despicable

We’ll see? Remote participation is certainly on the table for the hearings themselves. Who knows who will be incapacitated when and if a vote comes.

بالعكس,منكم وفيكم !! يعرفوها الكثير,وهذا يكفي وهذا يؤهل !! بالعكس !! واتكلم بصفة عادية مش بصفة اعتبارية عفوا !! وبالعكس اعتباري بالكبار هناك اذا كانوا اهل العقد والحل مقتنعين بالعكس كويس !! اول انا كنت اتكلم بصفة عامة بحتة !! مو بصفة خاصة ابدا !! وما اعرفها الا بعرف الامريكيين !!

Don’t believe so. The Dems have worked via Zoom for months on end. No delay necessary!

Dream on

Sure. And the dems don't have it🤔

No vote until after the election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday US reported over 47,000 COVID19 cases and 600 deaths. Feeling heartbroken for the ongoing hardship of these patients. Sincerely hope all of them can receive the same 'finest' treatment and care as the President.

One would think that health and safety would come first, before a vote that can realistically take place later.

Isn’t it strange the discrepancy between Republican and Democrat politicians coming down with this thing?

Nope. Sorry CNN. They will get it done!

cue up the remote hearing. why is CNN amping this nonsense?

We know. Please, more coverage of Trump's voter intimidation strategy, sowing of election distrust, using the presidency to profit his businesses and brand, white supremacist beliefs and actions, neverending lies, etc.

Sorry communists, Trump will save the Republic.

Will there be justice after all?

But by all means send your kids to school.

Damned, he looks like Mason R. Verger

Wow this is getting much more interesting 😁

They are old too..... let’s see how this plays out. Are y’all just plain STUPID........ THEY HAVE TWO WEEKS.... LETS SEE IF THEY SURVIVE.... WRONG CHESS MOVE. realDonaldTrump

Look at God

MonopointAmy A party line vote isn't really 'relatively smooth'. Stop enabling the GOP
