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 hope we dont see the kind of personal smears, directed at her family, her faith. Week arescussions next about her record come her jurisprudence and business to be a judge, that is what the senate should be doing.

Is boycott meetings or try to impeach the president but i think they will try to do something to delay it. It is not going to work. I believe we have the votes and judge barrett on the merits is going to be confirmed

I want to start with the mueller hearings which happened on wednesday. They will be on cspan3. I wanted to hear from jerry nadler. He was asked why he is putting Robert Mueller through a congressional hearing. We want them to your directly from special counsel mueller what his investigation found.
