Ron Johnson who attended the Barrett ceremony is now saying he is CV+ as well this morning.
I don't recall whether he is on the Senate Judiciary Committee or not.
He is not on the Judiciary Committee. Keep in mind current Senate rules require IN-PERSON voting for floor votes. With three GOP Senators out sick - one more and there goes your majority. Actually if Murkowski and Collins are NO votes, MoscowMitch does not have the votes to confirm a new justice RIGHT NOW.
Dems May be able to block nomination in committee if 2 GOP senators are AWOL, and Dems call for a quorum. Pence can’t break the tie in a quorum vote.
Also need 60 votes to amend the rules, I believe
Senate will take a vote Monday to adjourn until October 19
