When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. As you may have noticed, the news today has been dominated by the confirmation hearing for the staunchly conservative judge that republicans are deadset on ramming through an incredibly accelerated timeline. Thats judge Amy Coney Barrett. And theyre doing it at a hearing involving not one but two republican senators, mike lee and tom tillis, who have tested positive for covid. And until very recently, apparently, were shedding viral load. Hopefully thats stopped now because theyre all in the room together.

I mean, take a look at where the country finds itself right now, specifically whe
