Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett sworn in and greeted with a request to recuse herself in an election case
(CNN)Justice Amy Coney Barrett recited the judicial oath Tuesday morning in a swearing-in ceremony administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, officially beginning her tenure as the 115th justice on the Supreme Court -- and was greeted with a request to recuse herself from a key election-related case.
The ceremony took place in the East Conference Room of the court and Barrett is seen a photo shared by the court with her right hand raised and left hand placed on a family Bible held by her husband, Jesse, as she took the oath.
All Supreme Court justices participated in the ceremony except Justice Stephen Breyer, who listened by phone from his home in Cambridge and felt it was safest to avoid travel and attend virtually, according to the court's public information officer Kathy Arberg.

I have noticed that my tRumper family is in a really bad mood.
They are scared to death that Trump is going to lose. They don't return phone calls. My dad especially is a total freaking grump.

But when he arrived, he found the lobby and elections office filled with several dozen protesters many of them in suit jackets and button-down shirts.
Geller had walked into the Brooks Brothers riot, a protest organized by Republican campaign operatives, congressional staffers and lawyers.
When Geller asked election officials for a sample ballot to test his voting machine theory, the GOP operatives suddenly surrounded him, accusing him of stealing ballots to try to influence the election, he told The Washington Post in a telephone interview this week.

I don't know how to post the picture but it was infamous around here during recount 2000.
This is what I am afraid of after the election trumpian thugs pulling this crap during the counts, shit not even the recounts.
Who remembers this insanity in 2000 during the recount: Brooks Brothers Riot

There better be some rules and safeguards at the debate next week....
I can hear Trump talking trash about Hunter and every other thing in the world.....I am afraid for Joe. I don't want him to get to upset.

In what format will the October 22 debate be?
I am really hoping Trump doesn't get away with that same crap he pulled during the first debate.
