[Robert A Cook PE]

If the Committee than is denying the vote (by the mere THREAT of a filibuster that MIGHT not be voted closed!), then the repub's really only need to hold the Committee to THEIR own filibuster.

Call the COmmittee to session.

And leave it that way until these nominations were voted out. Permanent Judicial Comittee session until all business was voted, or until Biden wanted to vote on his precious BCS College Football Bowl hearing.

Or Kennedy wanted to use the bathroom. Or get a drink. Or eat.

I missed where the bottle neck was the committee, last I recall the GOP moved the nominees out of committee on majority vote.
