Politics and the spread of virus is quite high in the States. Two Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been tested positive for the coronavirus and it has raised questions about the timing of Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett and whether additional senators may have been exposed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vowed the confirmation process is going “full steam ahead.” North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis and Utah Sen. Mike Lee both stated on Friday that they had tested positive for the virus.

Both attended a ceremony for Barrett at the White House on Sept. 25 with President Donald Trump, who announced Friday that he had tested positive and was later hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Lee, who did not wear a mask at the White House event, announced that he had “symptoms consistent with longtime allergies.” Tillis, who did wear a mask during the public portion of the event, said he has no symptoms. Both said they will quarantine for 10 days — ending just before Barrett’s confirmation hearings begin on Oct. 12.

There is a little cushion in the schedule set out by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham and McConnell, who wants to put Trump’s third hand-picked justice on the court immediately in case they lose any of their power in the election. Democrats immediately seized on the announcements to call for a delay in the hearings.
