10/14: Judge Amy Coney Barrett declines to reveal her views under intense scrutiny. Early voters turn out in massive numbers.

In her first day of questions yesterday, Judge Amy Coney Barrett did not discuss how she would decide cases on the high court. She repeatedly told the committee she has no policy agenda, and did not want to be used as a "pawn." Americans are already showing their determination to have their votes counted, with the election just 20 days away. We're looking at huge turnout and massive lines in places where early voting is an option, including in Texas and Georgia. President Trump was in Pennsylvania and Joe Biden was in Florida yesterday, both working to appeal to older Americans and other voters. Eli Lilly has announced a pause in clinical trials for a coronavirus drug, one day after Johnson and Johnson paused its global vaccine trial. Both companies say safety is taking priority over speed. There's new evidence that a militia's alleged plot to kidnap Michigan's governor may have been a wider conspiracy.
