Just that. They are being held over to the next week. The minority can request that a nominee be held over one week, one time.

2/ Jeff Flake has been protesting Trump's trade policy, and has refused to vote for any judicial nominees in committee. Because R's have 1-vote majority on the committee, Grassley has been holding all the nominees until he's sure Flake will vote yes.

Ah, got it; thanks! It sounds like Flake has backed down on this (since he got his (face-saving) vote on tariffs).

In Grant and Porter's cases, there wasn't a quorum present long enough to vote. (Senators didn't stop talking and others left).

1/ It means that the majority did not bring the nominee to a vote. Typically, the majority holds a nominee over the first time they're up for a vote.

The minority can automatically hold over and bill or nomination for 1 week. The Democratic membership is now doing that for every judicial nomination. This applies to the district court nominations and the 4th Cir. nominations for this week. As to the others, no quorum was there.
