@rickhasen Hey Rick. Re: your Slate column and the line "Democrats have no cards to play here." I'm assuming that's true too, but haven't yet figured out the quorum rules for the Judiciary Committee.

Thanks. So same question to the others - the quorum rules for the Senate Judiciary committee require two minority party members present to transact business.https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/rules

Committee rules here: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/about/rules . So, if Dems wanted to, they could send only one member, who would then object to the lack of a quorum, when it was time to vote on the nomination. BUT ...pic.twitter.com/DAQoz97bzk

... if they did that, the Republican floor majority would simply begin the procedure to discharge the committee of consideration of the nominee, bringing her/him directly to the floor.

OK, that's what I was wondering. I read something yesterday that there isn't a discharge option in the Senate like there is in the House, but I guess that's not true?

Awesome - thanks!
