Democrat Sens. Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein have already cited GOP Sen. Mike Lee’s positive COVID-19 test as their reason want to delay “already illegitimate” confirmation process for Amy Coney Barrett. Right on cue, Joe Biden’s coronavirus adviser, Zeke Emanuel, is saying something similar:
I'll say it again: for the safety of the Senate (whose members skew old) and its staff, this confirmation process should be put on pause until we know who is infected and not, and the work of the nation can proceed safely. https://t.co/bNqAu1UFoM
