    Schumer could have insisted on post cloture debate on each of these nominees, which would take up lots of time and take away other Senate business.https://twitter.com/ajaxsinger/status/1034586079188246528 …

    What power, specifically, could Schumer use to prevent this? Minority doesn't even have the power to enforce a hold anymore. I feel your frustration, but yelling at @senschumer doesn't seem to make a lot of sense here.

        I heard from someone who follows this stuff closely that it was a good deal for Schumer to get some reasonable district court judges through in NY. I'm looking forward to more reporting on this.

        Didn't the January 2013 rule change eliminate that as a possibility?

        No, delay might have led to confirmation of fewer judges overall, or a deal to limit the number of judges considered.

        I'm not intending to challenge your obviously superior expertise here, I'm just searching for clarity -- I'd been operating under the assumption that the minority had been fairly well defanged.

        Replying to @ajaxsinger @rickhasen

        Minority now only has power to slow things down - like a couple of days per nominee. If they use that power every time, the total # of noms Trump ultimately has time to confirm gets smaller.

        Dems could also demand ROLL CALL for every single piece of Senate business instead of voice votes (even for the most mundane things). Only takes 11 Senators for the demand. Would dramatically slow down Senate

        Yes but that wd have likely led McConnell to threaten to keep everyone in session thru Labor Day, all the way up to Kavanaugh hearings. Maybe he wouldn’t do it, but red state Dems clearly think this weekend is a crucial 1 not to miss on trail. Schumer wd have serious caucus prob.

        I thought cloture was a vote to end debate. If not, what exactly does cloture do?

        That's cloture. To sum, it seems that while Schumer is not waiving drbate on merits, he is waiving debate on cloture. Got it. Seems weird.

        Then the Republicans would just change the debate rules. Some of these nominees were Democrats.
