Tillis participated remotely. Lee attended the hearing and did not always wear a mask, but provided a doctor’s note clearing him to participate.
One by one, GOP committee members used their time to make opening statements to predict that the panel’s Democrats would overstep on the issue. Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley were among the Republicans warning that the Constitution bars religious tests for public office. Hawley criticized Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris of California for asking past judicial nominees about their membership in the Knights of Columbus, a lay Catholic fraternal organization.
They consistently linked the nomination to the coronavirus pandemic, criticizing the safety precautions taken by Republicans and noting that the court, with Barrett on it, could rule to remove health care protections. Hirono noted that Graham had been compassionate to her during her health struggles. She said this could be a “moment” for Graham to show the same compassion to “the American people terrified about losing their health care.”Among the first cases confronting Barrett on the Supreme Court could be a challenge to the presidential election.
when i saw that little creep mike lee take his mask off, i was really pissed, he shouldn't have been in that room in the first damn place, i also remembered that very old song, 1, 2,3 look at mr. lee, 3,4,5 look at him jive, and that's what he is a jive turkey
I see the mobs are lighting up the comments section. With no vested interest in the outcome, I can grab a bowl of popcorn and be amused at the display!

It's so cute how they're all pretending like this 'hearing' is anything but a GOP reactionary railroad job.

That picture speaks volumes. Old white men deciding on women’s issues. Archaic.
This is a horror show. The desperation of gop, putting others at risk, flaunting their egregious hypocrisy by shoving yet ANOTHER Scotus seat because they CAN'T win fairly - the whole party deserves to disintegrate along with any shred of their honesty or fairness. TheDemocrats
It looked like an argument at a nursing home. It’s time for half the Senators to retire.
This is probably the fairest breakdown of day 1 that I have seen. SCOTUSHearing SCOTUS research AmyConeyBarrett ConfirmationHearing
Thanks. I'll put this in with the rest of the media's opinions on this subject.
Do we still have to wear masks?
Judge Barrett's qualifications are impeccable and yet not one Democrat will vote for her because this Justice won't bow to the leftists every wish!
Aside from the story, I bet Chuck Grassley is thrilled having one confirmed COVID case and another untested person standing right behind him. At work.
She lied under oath and is the most unfit SCOTUS nominee I've ever seen, and I saw Kavanaugh throw a hissy fit live.
Expand the courts. Enough with the dinosaurs and religious zealots threatening to take our rights away.
Is it that someone infected with COVID less than 2 weeks ago is standing behind the 87 year old Finance Chair?
So tired of all these white men.
Is that Mike Lee?
The three stooges
She did a great job. Good Judge and human being. Grounded with the Constitution. Can’t ask for better.
The is now pushing Democratic propaganda .. She's a woman who's worked hard and deserves to be on the court
Takeaway 1: The country would be immeasurably improved if a few superspreaders were introduced to the hearings.
Nope, I’m good AP. I don’t need any one sided, liberal opinions. I want news, you know facts.
Vladimir Putin wants her on the Supreme Court.
First takeaway: libs are threatened by a successful woman.
