That tactic was first mentioned a week or so ago, as a threat, especially if the Pubbies used the nuclear option to stop the judicial filibusters.

That is a new tactic Senate Dems are threatening to use. Apparently, every committee must have at least one of the opposition party (OP) present to do business. If no OP member is present, the committee cannot vote; thus it cannot get nominees out of committee.
