In any case, Henry Saad would not be entitled to any vote whatsoever, because his nomination is subject to a "hold,"

Is that an actual rule, or just an arcane Senate "tradition"? I have a feeling its the latter.

I think this is a major problem for the party. A major problem. The Senate Republicans decided tonight that keeping the "system" rolling onward, providing pork and privilege and security, was more important than making sure all the nominees passed.

Any comment that I may make tonight, would get me arrested.

Until our government gets under control once again, I will "flick my Bick!"
