If Amy Coney Barrett does not have a full in person confirmation hearing, she can’t be validly confirmed. Even if she’s illegally seated without such a hearing, she’ll be Swiftly removed and the open seat will be filled by the next president. Any court decisions that include her will be invalid without a full in person confirmation hearing.

Senate committees have been having hearings using remote technology.  Is there actually any legal requirement for in person hearings for ACB?  I confess I am short of solid facts on this topic, and am just asking.  What I do know is that if two members of the SJC, both repubes, are absent and too ill to participate in any form, then that would considerably delay the SJC vote on advancing the nominee to the full Senate.  If they simply did not vote, their absence would mean a possible tie on advancement.  Which would mean more waiting.

And then Al Haig takes over, right?

hahaha!  I saw your Al Haig quip yesterday and enjoyed the mental picture of Al rising from his grave just to step in and preserve the republic.

You are right Barton. Members from both sides have zoomed into judicial hearings and votes.

We’ll have to jam their signals and cut their land lines, a small price to pay to maintain justice in this country.

Yep.  At this point, any wrench tossed into the works is a good wrench.  I learned that from someone high up in our nation's government...

Will the pit of disease party really push forward the nomination of Typhoid Amy? Aside from God’s obvious displeasure with the pick, she has a warped and broken understanding of the law.

The republican party is a headless chicken.

This harrowing near-death experience will help trump better come to grips with dying defeated and in poverty when his number is finally up.

Meanwhile, back at the headless chicken,

Trump's gross negligence threatens our national security every fucking day and Elba's village idiot looks to a generally reliable source of information and mocks it.

Kid is a fucking idiot.

So, you're advocating domestic terrorism.

Not cool, dude.
