Good afternoon from Capitol Hill.





















Fellow Conservative:

Good afternoon from Capitol Hill. On Friday,
President Trump announced he and the First Lady tested positive
for COVID-19. Republican Senators Thom Tillis, Mike Lee, and Ron
Johnson have also announced positive tests, as have several White
House staff. Both the First Lady and the senators report mild
symptoms or no symptoms, and are doing well.

The President has been receiving care at Walter Reed
Medical Center, where his doctors say he is responding well to
treatment. On Saturday, the president released a video statement,
and another one on Sunday. He also took a brief drive to wave to
his supporters, which the White House staff say was cleared by
his medical team. It is the expectation of his doctors that if he
continues to do well, he could be discharged as soon as today.

This is a global pandemic that has impacted millions
-- including Members of the House, of the Senate, and now, the
president. Our prayers are with all of them, and with all
families struggling with this illness.

The positive COVID testing of members of the Senate
have led to speculation that the confirmation of Supreme Court
nominee Amy Coney Barrett may have to be delayed, as Senators
Tillis and Lee both serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsay Graham
has announced the hearings will take place as scheduled,
beginning on October 12. This is entirely appropriate. Hearings
in the Senate Judiciary Committee have been occurring both
in-person and virtually for months. There is no reason to treat
this hearing differently.



























The Conservative Partnership Institute has launched
the Supreme Court War Room to provide rapid response to the
liberal attacks against Judge Barrett and give our allies the
resources to fight back!




SUPPORT THE WAR ROOM




















The timing of her confirmation vote on the Senate
floor will depend on the physical number of senators who are
present. The Senate's rules require a quorum of 51 members
present on the Senate floor to conduct business. Unlike the
House, the Senate has not instituted the voting that allows one
physically present member to cast up to 10 votes on behalf of
absent members.

Democrat pundits are openly speculating about
Democrat senators' ability to deny Republicans a quorum by not
showing up. But they forget the power of the majority leader to
compel the presence of absent senators, which gives the Sergeant
at Arms the power to "compel" -- and even to arrest -- senators
who fail to present themselves.

This power was famously used in 1988 to carry Sen.
Bob Packwood (R-Ore.) back into the chamber feet first when
Democrats ordered the arrest of absent senators in a filibuster
showdown over a Democrat bill on spending in senatorial
campaigns. Such a tactic will hopefully not be necessary, but
2020 has not been a year of expected outcomes.
In the meantime, both parties remain far apart on a
potential COVID-19 relief bill. Senate Democrats filibustered the
last Republican effort in September.

The Senate will cease floor activity through October
19 out of an abundance of caution. The House remains out of
session through the election. On Wednesday, Vice President Mike
Pence and Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris will debate.
