@marianne_levine Sounds like ACB hearings will be partially remote. McConnell says "the Judiciary Committee has operated flawlessly through a hybrid method that has seen some Senators appear physically at its hearings while other members have participated virtually." — PolitiTweet.org

Lee and Tillis are quarantining for 10 days. That allows GOP leaders to keep Barrett hearing on track. But they can't afford any positives next week among those members, because hearing will be right around corner. So the most immediate question is whether Senate come back Monday — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Here's where we stand. Sens. Lee and Tillis tested positive, and in between those tests the Judiciary Committee postponed a mark-up for next week, sources say. Tillis has essentially shuttered his campaign. And the Senate is scheduled to comeback Monday. https://t.co/biCrARG35J — PolitiTweet.org
