Top Senate Democrats are demanding the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Judge Amy Coney Barrett be delayed after Republican Senator Mike Lee tested positive for Wuhan coronavirus.

NEW: Schumer and Feinstein says Senate Judiciary should delay Barrett hearings.

"The unfortunate news about the infection of our colleague Senator Mike Lee makes even more clear that health and safety must guide the schedule for all Senate activities, including hearings."

The seeds of this idea were planted last night by the media when news broke that President Trump had also tested positive.

McConnell can control what makes it to the floor of the Senate but the committee chairmen decide the schedules of their committees.  He can't order Graham to change it.

Hell no.  Hold the hearings.  Confirm Judge Barrett.

"McConnell can control what makes it to the floor of the Senate but the committee chairmen decide the schedules of their committees.  He can't order Graham to change it."

If Mr. Graham expects to be re-elected in the close contest that he's currently in, he'd damn well better ram through these hearings and get a vote to the floor.

Otherwise, he'd better spiff up his lobbying resume...

Hey if they decline to participate it will just make things that much faster, no matter what the dems and liberal media are gonna have one huge glass of whine. So put in the ear plugs and full steam ahead!

It's time for the Pubs to be the leaders they were elected to be and get the job done.

Correct, but McConnell can bypass the entire Committee if he wants to.  There is no Constitutional requirement for a Committee hearing.

Judging by his past "performances".... he won't bypass it.  You know he won't.  There's a reason why they call him the Turtle.  And it has less to do with his appearance.
