Joe Biden’s plan to study changes to the judiciary might get him through the debate or the election, but just about no one seems thrilled with it. Liberals lukewarm, Republicans still say he’ll add SCOTUS seats and Dems have heard little about it https://t.co/IBEg8CrsCu — PolitiTweet.org

Murkowski met with Barrett this week. Doesn’t seem swayed “I’ve shared for awhile that I didn’t think we should be taking this up until after the election and I haven’t changed.” Are you a no then? “That means I haven’t changed my mind on that” https://t.co/EKtdNKso2P — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesArkin @meridithmcgraw As Senate GOP tried to hammer Democrats on Covid package today, Trump tweeted photos of himself being interviewed for “60 Minutes."

Yes the Senate Judiciary Committee requires a quorum with some Democrats to do committee business. But Republicans can get around it, including making a change to the rules. The vote will happen tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org
