    This is important. Democrats can stop Senate from having quorum. They should push forward the argument that given health emergency, it's irresponsible to go forward with nomination at this moment.https://twitter.com/ddayen/status/1312433595915460609 …

    Even if Republicans could assemble all of their available members, it would only add up to 50, not enough for a quorum. If Democrats boycott the quorum call (and the Dem initiating it runs and hides), Rs cannot do anything on the floor for the time being. https://prospect.org/coronavirus/i-note-the-absence-quorum-republican-quarantine-amy-coney-barrett/ …

        I want to have hope that this will happen. But recent history tells me we are not that lucky.

        Here is a better argument, because it is the Republican argument: if you can constitutionally do something, do it.

        They should be preparing articles of impeachment for Trump and Barr concurrently. I’m not a procedural expert, but I heard from good sources that those would need to be handled first. Of course, I have no faith in Pelosi/Schumer.

        McConnell could instruct them to count the fleeing member who initiated the quorum call as present, couldn't he? That's how Disappearing Quorum filibuster was ended in 19th century in the house

        He’ll probably lock the doors. However, it’s quite probable that a handful of other Republican Senators will test positive.

        Lots of questions to probe about the ACB announcement? Why weren’t health protocols followed? Why Rush? Was info about symptoms/positive tests withheld putting others at risk? Does ACB believe in science or does she think #COVID19 is a hoax since she & her family didnt #maskup
