They know the nomination must be withdrawn if not passed out of committee Thursday (per Clarice Feldman). Let’s claim fear of flying, even though I’ve often done it, but we can delay, delay, delay past the deadline.

There are reports that Flake is going to vote “Present.” I don’t know if 50-49 is good enough for confirmation. I hope it is.

Do you know why? I was kinda disappointed that Clarice didn't explain that.

That's simply not true. He can join an in-progress SCOTUS term at whatever point he is confirmed. It just means he can't rule on cases that were already in progress before he is seated. Gorsuch did exactly that last year.
