The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett are not yet underway, and Democrats are already attempting to invalidate them.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says “a virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all.”
Craig Caplan ~ Schumer: "A virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all. You need to be with the witness and have direct cross questions, and back and forth with them."
It’s a pandemic. Nobody likes a pandemic. Democrats have been lecturing America for weeks on end about the need to take precautions, but now they don’t like the idea of a virtual hearing.
Chad Pergram ~ Schumer on Barrett: The idea of having virtual hearings where no one is with the witness for the highest court in the land for a life appointment that would have such effect on people's lives makes no sense. A virtual hearing is virtually no hearing at all.
Has the Senate been holding hearings virtually during the coronavirus pandemic? The answer is yes. Has the Judiciary Committee been holding hearings virtually during the pandemic? The answer is also yes.
David Popp ~ Fox News’s Chris Wallace noted that the Judiciary Committee, of which Klobuchar is a member, has held virtual hearings before and that Klobuchar earlier praised the panel's chairman, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), for arranging them.
A lot of organizations have had to adjust to unusual circumstances in response to the virus.
Amy Swearer ~ Lololol "a virtual hearing is no hearing at all" but tomorrow tens of millions of students will be doing virtual schooling, their parents will be doing virtual working, and the Supreme Court itself will be doing virtual oral arguments just like it did in the spring.
Rob ~ In other news, the highest court in the land will resume virtual oral arguments tomorrow for cases that would affect people's lives.
Aubrey Gilleran ~ Democrats really need to find better arguments than this. If the rest of America can figure out how to conduct business and learning through Zoom, Congress can question a nominee through Zoom. In fact, they’ve been doing it for months.
If the party positions were reversed (and Democrats were trying to confirm a justice during a pandemic), where do you think Schumer and Feinstein would stand on holding virtual hearings?
Stephen L. Miller ~ The Senate has been holding virtual hearings already. That's not what this is about.
Virtual hearings rob Schumer and the left of the protest spectacle of barnstorming into elevators and Code Pink screaming and dragged from the room. That's all this is about. ...
Chuckie is a pathetic, infantile hypocrite. He demands that everyone obediently comply with libtard "sensibilities" ... until it isn't convenient for the libtard narrative, that is.
