Klobuchar calls on Senate to delay Barrett confirmation: 'Better for safety, better for the country'
Fox News ^ | October 04 2020 | Tyler Olson

Posted on 10/04/2020 9:50:19 AM PDT by knighthawk

Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday said the Senate should wait until after the presidential election to move on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court -- not just because of how close the nomination is to the election, as Democrats have said in recent weeks, but also for "safety" reasons after multiple Republican senators tested positive for the coronavirus.

Klobuchar, D-Minn., made the comments in a conversation with Fox News' Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." Wallace asked Klobuchar if Democrats would try to use the Republicans coronavirus tests to delay Barrett's confirmation despite the fact that the Senate has held virtual hearings regularly for months.

"It's not a matter of using it, it happened," Klobuchar responded. "We've got the fact that now three senators have it, as you point out two are on the Judiciary Committee. And Mitch McConnell has shut the Senate down for two weeks because of health concerns."

Don’t think the Republicans need to be encouraged to keep kicking the can down the road until it’s all moot, they got that part down pat.

These people are so transparent. If the shoe was on the other foot you KNOW they would proceed with the nomination.

We know it, they know it. They can pretend otherwise but the truth is out there.

The better to delay the info coming out about Klobuchar-— and THE UKRAINIAN money laundry she benefited from with the help of Ambassador Voyinovich (the fired one) using designated USAID funds sent to the Ambassador’s chosen NGO’s for “kickback” payments to Demonrats. The financial trail is quite known.

Burisma benefited from this-— through the pals they had at the Atlantic Council— to include the mouthy biotch Evelyn Farkas— who is RUNNING FOR DEM House seat that was Nita Lowey’s NY— and she is running as some kind of “intel expert”— read.... OBAMAUMAO plant Leftist. Incompetent— “what we have on the Russians” Russia Russia a@@ clown that went on TV several times making a fool of herself.

If the shoe were on the other foot, they would have already confirmed a new justice.

Well, yeah, there is that. They would have waived the hearing and called for an immediate vote.

It is touching to all of a sudden see the democrats so earnestly and sincerely concerned for the country, especially when it advances their causes. Such generosity.

Haven’t at least 51 Senators already said they would vote for Amy? If so, why go through the theatrics? Just vote and get it over with.
