Can we invoke cloture if they decide to filibuster? I mean if they're filibustering judges, why not the cabinet?
When it gets that far you can try to shut off debate via the cloture route... But it's not there yet... The Gonzales thing is still in committee and it's not unusual for a hold to be place or a nomination or a request be made for additional time to review the nominee.... Happens with some regularity... Hatch finally got a gut full at one point last year and moved a few nominees out of committee that were being held but Leahy or some other senator....
