Amy Coney Barrett is wearing a mask. Lindsey Graham is not. (Follow for a video thread of Coney Barrett's confirmation hearing.)
"Ruzzle"
Leahy: "We should not be holding this hearing when it's plainly unsafe to do so. Two members of this committee [are] just now emerging from quarantine after testing positive for Covid, and when other members have declined to get tested."
Durbin on broad consensus during RBG/Scalia votes: "The reason those votes were so overwhelming was because people lived by the rules, they lived by the traditions of the Senate, and they had mutual respect for one another. We know now that this process does not adhere."
Mike Lee, who tested positive for coronavirus after the ACB Rose Garden event, is now speaking without a mask
Lindsey Graham has plague jokes
Whitehouse: "This hearing itself is a microcosm of Trump's dangerous ineptitude in dealing with the Covid pandemic. Trump can't even keep the White House safe ... The whole thing, just like Trump, is an irresponsible botch."
Klobuchar: "This is not Donald Trump's country -- it is yours. This should not be Donald Trump's judge. It should be yours."
