I think they are separate issues, since the House doesn't have any say in the new SC justice.
I think the meeting at the WH last week with the airline CEOs was more of an indication that the WH wants the airlines to have money -which is good news for us - but the CARES 2 seems wrapped up more in the other issues that the House, the Senate and the WH are discussing (and can't reach an agreement on). The positive is that on Oct 1st, the election is 34 days away. It's not good optics for several airlines to collectively furlough tens of thousands of people (which live in every state) that close to an election.
