As for the balance of harms, we see no logical stopping point to the plaintiffs' position here; they seem to want an all-or-nothing rule.

COVID-19 is "a novel severe acute respiratory
illness that has killed ... more than 100,000 nationwide. At this time, there is no known cure, no effective treatment, and no vaccine. Because people may be infected but asymptomatic, they may unwittingly infect others." ....

If 100 Democrats or 100 Republicans gather and ten get infected, those ten may go home and infect a local shopkeeper, a local grocery-store worker, their postal carrier, or their grandmother—someone who had no interest in the earlier gathering. Thus, the balance of harms in this instance strongly favors the governor.

Citation: Ill. Republican Party v. Pritzker, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 116383, 2020 WL 3604106 (N.D. Ill., July 2, 2020)

Back to the present. Amy talks after Trump: She loves the United States and the United States Constitution. She eulogizes the late Justice Ruth Ginsburg: "She not only broke glass ceilings, she smashed them." She talks about Ginsburg's and Scalia's friendship and affection despite their differences on the law.

I don't think Trump's nomination of Amy Barrett is the worst possible choice. I think 11th Circuit Court Judge Barbara Lagoa would have been much worse.

The worst part of today's ceremony: Most of the audience were not wearing masks and sitting shoulder to shoulder.
