Under way right now. Tracie, you know about all the counts. This looks like it is a done deal. It looks like its a done deal because we have some sense of whether 12 republicans and 10 democrats will break when it comes down to voting for her or not. Looking live in the hearing room now. They are getting under way. She is done with her questioning. Shes not expected to be there today. But we will hear from members of the American Bar Association and outside witnesses on her nomination. A vote is not a final vote, but we will get a sense of where this committee is headed. We already know because weve been listening for several days as lawmakers questioned her with democrats questioning whether shes a threat to the Affordable Care act and womens issues. This hearing has done nothing to alleviate the concerns raised about why this nominee was chosen and why this is being rushed when the American People deserve to be heard. This is the first time in American History that weve nominated a w
Person and others may appear remotely via webex. Since some of the members will be in person, me first remind everyone that pursuant to the latest guidance in the house, all individuals in attendance and searing in person must wear a Face Covering. Those who are not wearing a Face Covering are not permitted to remain in the hearing room and will not be recognized for intent to speak. Let me also make a few reminders about other hearings.

And what is known in webex as a special mode. On the other monitor you will see each person speaking during the hearing when they are speaking. Including members who are appearing remotely. For those members of repairing remotely can also see each person speaking during the hearing whether they are in person or remote if you have your webex set to an active sp
We talked about it last night. What is going to happen after that . I dont know. Mr. Meadows . Thank, chairman. , you can take a bit of a breather on your return to the committee. What i want to do is go through with the people who are watching the conversation that you and i had when we spoke on the telephone. You were kind enough to hear out a presentation that i made and i intend to have some questions in that area. It does not make sense if i have not laid the predicate particularly for our viewers who are watching this. I guess the reason i want to do this is because people who are watching this need to understand that this small hearing room and the little tv box you are looking at, the little screen you are looking at are a little bit like the frame of a puppet theater. If you only look at what is going on in the puppet theater, you are not going to understand the whole story, you are not going to understand the real dynamic of what is going on here.
