Will Testing Positive Hurt Georgia Senate Race?

The Georgia Senate race will determine the majority in the Legislative Branch of government and a the incumbent, Senator Kelly Loeffler has tested positive for coronavirus.

Loeffler will be quarantining before the January 5th runoff in that state.

The control of the Senate rests with two GOP candidates, one being Loeffler and the other being Republican U.S. Sen. David Perdue, also of Georgia.

Loeffler tested negative negative Friday morning with a rapid-results test before two campaign events she held with Vice President Mike Pence but after taking a PCR test Friday, it came back positive later on during the day.

PCR is a diagnostic test, which means that it can be used to determine whether you currently have an active coronavirus infection.

On Saturday,  Loeffler received inconclusive results after taking an additional test.

Besides Pence, Loeffler has also had recent contact with Perdue as well as U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

Campaign spokesman Stephen Lawson said, “Senator Loeffler followed CDC guidelines by notifying those with whom she had sustained direct contact while she awaits further test results. She has no symptoms and she will continue to follow CDC guidelines by quarantining until retesting is conclusive and an update will be provided at that time.”

Loeffler’s Democratic opponent is the Rev. Raphael Warnock, and Perdue will face Democrat Jon Ossoff.

The tests have been disputed because of results being different on any given day.

People with no symptoms can still be carriers of the disease but they don’t necessarily take tests.

I have not been tested and you can be sure that unless I develop symptoms that are undeniably this flu, which attacks the lungs, I will not be getting tested.

With all the corruption that goes on in America, at this time, I trust very few people. That’s right, I do not trust the tests to be one hundred percent accurate.

If I may say so, my belief is that anything can be manipulated and I will never dismiss the possibility of human error whether it is accidental or not.

I hope Loeffler is feeling well and the next test that she takes comes back negative.

We need control of the Senate. May God bless Loeffler and Perdue and may voters be guided to do what is right and fair and bring them to victory.

And, of course, God bless America.

Guess Who is a Yes for ACB?

It appears that on Monday Amy Coney Barrett will have an unlikely ally who will be voting to confirm her position on the Supreme Court of the United States.

On Saturday, Senator Lisa Murkowski, the Republican from Alaska was on the floor in the Senate giving a speech when she revealed that she will support Barrett’s confirmation on Monday.

On one hand, Murkowski said that she’s still opposed to the Senate taking up a Supreme Court nominee so close to the November 3rd election.

She knows that she has already lost the procedural fight and she must evaluate Barrett’s qualifications to the bench.

Murkowski said, “I will be a yes. I have no doubt about her intellect. I have no doubt about Judge Barrett’s judicial temperament. I have no doubt about her capability to do the job  ̶  and to do it well.”

The only GOP senator to oppose Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018 was Murkowski.

She said that she’d still vote “no” on the procedural motion on Sunday to advance Barrett’s nomination.

In essence, Murkowski said that she still opposes the process, but won’t “hold it against” Barrett and therefore will vote “yes” on the merits of her nomination.

Murkowski said, “I have concluded that she is the sort of person we want on the Supreme Court.”

She basically praised Barrett’s temperament, legal writing and patience.

Republicans hold 53 seats, which is the majority in the Senate but two of them, Murkowski and Susan Collins, who is from Maine, have openly opposed moving on Barrett’s nomination before the election.

It looks like President Trump will have third nominee on the high court.

Democrats were opposed to Barrett’s confirmation so close to the election. They boycotted the Judiciary Committee vote on Thursday.

On Saturday, which is a rare day for anything in D.C., Senator Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., staged a four delay tactic on Friday on the Senate floor. He even forced a brief closed door session. He tried to pause the confirmation proceedings by bringing up coronavirus relief legislation.

That effort was shut down by the GOP.

Saturday, Senator Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., said that two of her staffers had tested positive for coronavirus. Loeffler revealed that she had tested negative. That would mean that she will be present to vote for Barrett.

Loeffler’s office said in a statement, “Senator Loeffler is more energized than ever to vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett as the next Supreme Court Justice on Monday before returning home and traveling the state to meet with hardworking Georgians.”

Most people across America would love to have another Supreme Court Justice that has conservative values.

I cannot wait to hear that the confirmation is done, finished and Barrett sitting on the high court.

God Bless America
