PITTSFIELD (WGME) -- Senator Susan Collins says she will vote against Judge Amy Coney-Barrett being elected to the Supreme Court. Sen. Collins releases statement on Supreme Court Vacancy "It's not a comment on her,” Collins said. “It is a comment on the process of rushing through a nomination in such a short time before a presidential election." Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also said she will be a no vote for the same reason. To block the confirmation, two more senators would have to vote against Coney-Barrett, but Republicans have said they have the votes.

It’s not been a good 24 hours for Republicans. First, Donald Trump tweeted he had tested positive for COVID-19. Then, in rapid succession, several other White House aides reported positive tests, including Kellyanne Conway and campaign manager Bill Stepien. If that weren’t bad enough, three Republican senators have reported positive coronavirus tests in the last 24 hours, with the latest being Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. Previously, North Carolina’s Thom Tillis and Utah’s Mike Lee also tested positive. All of them will go into quarantine for at least two weeks.What does that do to the timeline to confirm Amy Coney Barrett...

Rush just said that Lindsay Graham is contemplating delaying the Barrett confirmation hearings..........
