Conservative Federalist Society. Will one get the nod late today . We learned that judge Amy Coney Barrett is not in washington tonight or will it be someone you do not see, senator mike lee. When it comes to confirmation, will any republican senator vote no . Will any democrat from a red state vote yes . A number were invited to the announcement tonight.

They wont look at all the bad acts and crimes on the other side. And then a total witch hunt like no other in american history. Now, in a subsequent tweet, the president says universities will some day study what highly conflicted and not Senate Approved bob mueller and his gang of democrat thugs have done
