Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo Sunday that the three positive coronavirus cases in the Senate would not prevent Judge Amy Coney Barrett from showing up in the U. S. Senate.
“Your colleagues tested positive. Looks like it was Amy Coney Barrett who gathered at the White House to provide to lawmakers. It was the position where so many other people were exposed. “
Cotton stated that he had been in contact with his colleagues who had tested positive or were quarantined and, as he knew, they were all asymptomatic or had mild symptoms and no one had to be hospitalized.
“What I can say is that everyone is ahead of being a task when they want to be at work. If you are on the Judicial [Committee] within a week of tomorrow, user or virtually, to have the confirmation hearing for Judge Barrett and then vote for Judge Barrett this month,” Cotton said.
According to the senator, the three positive instances in the Senate deserve not to affect Barrett’s confirmation process.
“Tell me about the procedure. He says he is convinced that, in fact, he may have Judge Barrett’s nomination hearings. Do you think that won’t be the time or the agenda, sir?” asked Bartyrome.
“No doubt, Maria, several of the lately remote senators would come out of solitary confinement before those hearings began. But the Senate Judiciary Committee has also held 20 hearings this year, some of which have been virtual. Many Democratic senators say they can’t hold a virtual hearing or call for this year, dating back to March, for all committees to be conducted through Zoom or Webex or some other virtual hearing,” she replied in my brain a week from tomorrow, Maria and then to the Senate later this month. “
First of all, I think all senators who have been positive or remote lately will repaint in general conditions, as will other senators, such as Rand Paul or Tim Kane. But if not, Mary, it’s a long and venerable “I’m sure each and every senator will be provided when their vote is needed,” Cotton said. “Culture of unlucky or medically ill senators who must vote to vote in the Senate. “
Cotton cited the late Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), who has been invited to Senate voting, that is, food due to Obamacare, as an example of what has been done in the past.
