Any Barrett says she cannot recall ever voting by mail and the debate over mail-in ballots is political so she can’t weigh in. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most striking takeaways from this confirmation hearing for me has been Amy Coney Barrett trying to distance and distinguish herself from Antonin Scalia to avoid answering for some of his more incendiary opinions and positions. More in the 202: https://t.co/dgqwmu0AGL — PolitiTweet.org

The hearing wraps up for the day at 8:15 pm, 11 hours and 15 minutes after it started. Today all 22 senators got 30 minutes. Tomorrow all 22 get a second round of 20 minutes to ask questions. So the day will be at least one third shorter. — PolitiTweet.org

Kamala Harris finishes her 30-minute round by introducing letters into the record from the NAACP and Planned Parenthood opposing Amy Barrett. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Kamala Harris clearly assumes, probably correctly, that most of the people watching her speech right now — or on YouTube later — didn’t watch the last 10 hours of this hearing. On the other hand, it’s a reflection of Democratic message discipline on ACA and Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Surging Covid cases portend a greater increase this winter, when drier conditions & more time spent indoors will help virus spread. “Things will get better, but in all likelihood, things will get worse before they get better,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. https://t.co/MOdgtwOWBr — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Midwestern states like Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are driving the surge, while states farther west — like Colorado, Idaho and the Dakotas — have seen their cases rise steadily for weeks. https://t.co/MOdgtwOWBr — PolitiTweet.org

Since Saturday, more than 20 states have hit a new high in their seven-day average of reported case counts, and more than half of those states set records again on Tuesday, according to data tracked by The Washington Post. https://t.co/MOdgtwOWBr — PolitiTweet.org

Noteworthy that the Democratic nominee for V.P. is citing specific statistics about how SCOTUS overturning ACA will hurt TX, NC, SC and IA, in addition to her home state. — PolitiTweet.org

After covering the 2008 campaign, it will never stop being surreal to watch Democrats, like Kamala Harris, refer to "the great, great John McCain." — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Sasse just compared his colleague Sheldon Whitehouse’s presentation earlier to “A Beautiful Mind.” Two thoughts: John Nash won the Nobel Prize in economics. Sasse wrote a book last year called: “Why We Hate Each Other and How to Heal.” — PolitiTweet.org

Stunning that Amy Barrett refuses to say VMI is a super precedent. But maybe it shouldn’t surprise: The court ruled 7-1 that VMI's male-only admissions policy was unconstitutional. One of RBG’s proudest moments. The only dissenter was Antonin Scalia, whom Barrett clerked for. — PolitiTweet.org
