I saw that. But are there not still hundreds of pending confirmations?

Yes. Dems continue to run clock. People forget, noms can still be filibustered, but only takes 51 votes to kill filibuster.

According to the Atlantic, only 1/10th of the more than 1000 appointments needing confirmation have been approved by Senate. Horrible.

Not defending per se. Just describing process & some of the limits. Also not sure all nominations have been made. Trump admin been slow
