1) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Schedule to Confirm Barrett

Here is the likely timetable for the prospective confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
2) As is custom the committee is holding the nomination over for a week. The Judiciary Committee will again meet to consider Barrett’s nomination at 1 pm et on Thursday, October 22.
3) The committee will vote to send the nomination to the floor (technically the “calendar,” but that’s another story). A nominee does not have to have a “favorable” recommendation from the committee to go to the floor.

1) It is customary in the Judiciary Committee to “hold over” a Supreme Court nominee for a week after the initial “markup” session.
2) Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has scheduled that markup session for tomorrow. But at the close of confirmation hearing for Amy Coney Barrett, Graham noted that the committee will “hold the nomination over” for a week.
3) That means there will likely (likely) be discussion tomorrow of the Barrett nomination at the business meeting. But the committee effectively punts the actual “markup” (where the committee votes to send the nomination to the floor) until Thursday, October 22.

1) The Judiciary Cmte has now had 2 significant delays due to audio issues. This COULD create a domino effect as it pertains to the timing of her potential confirmation.
2) There’s nothing that says they have to record the hearing or have amplified audio in the hearing room or for media/public.
3) But this is complicated by the fact that for the pandemic, some senators are beaming in remotely. Plus, in order to keep the numbers lower in the room, some senators are listening/watching the hearing back in their offices.

1) It’s like opposite day on a potential coronavirus bill. Or the Twilight Zone.

Nothing makes sense right now.
2) Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) have different problems. McConnell has a conference which either doesn’t want to do another coronavirus bill – or wants to do the bare minimum.
3) But McConnell’s putting a narrow coronavirus bill on the floor next week. Pelosi has a caucus which wants to do another coronavirus bill. But Pelosi isn’t budging.

1) Just a few days ago, President Trump declared an end to coronavirus talks. But the talks kept going – despite the President’s admonition. President Trump also said there would not be an effort to do a coronavirus bill until after the election.
2) then the President abruptly switched course. Mr. Trump also said he asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to focus instead on confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
3) Now McConnell says the Senate will attempt to tackle some sort of “targeted” coronavirus bill sometime after October 19, but before they put the Barrett nomination on the floor toward the end of the month.

A) 2020 election tactics are on display at Barrett's confirmation hearing.
B) Senate Republicans are repeatedly blasting Democrats for attacking Barrett’s faith. This stems from questions and reservations Democrats posed to Barrett when she was nominated for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2017.
C) Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee proclaimed “the dogma lives loudly within you” at the 2017 hearing.
