To be physically present. Some may participate via virtual interaction with judge barrett and starting tomorrow, i think we will have a full, fair hearing and it will be an opportunity to consider her qualifications. I hope it doesnt go down the road it went last time and we she Senate Democrats turning it into a political circus like they did with justice kavanaugh.

I believe we have the votes and judge barrett on the merits is going to be confirmed
